From the Author:
"Many may wonder why an old ‘guerrilla’ should feel called upon at this late day to rehearse the story of his life. . . . I propose to set out the little good that was in my life, at the same time not withholding in any way the bad." —Cole Younger "Cole Younger, a man whose personality comprises the various guises of victim, adventurer, fabricator, redeemer, brother and friend, is a complicated, controversial American allegory. Cole sought legendary status and it is that status he achieved. There was only one Cole Younger. The story of his life, as dictated by him with all its half-truths, insights, anecdotes and outright lies, makes for a engaging and electrifying read. When all is said and done, Cole Younger—partly truth and partly fiction—is a captivating American legend."-— from the Introduction by Marley Brant
