Walter Ferguson’s life was a microcosm of America from the Civil War—what Walt calls “The War of Southern Rebellion”—through Prohibition.
Read of Walt’s adventures with such Western luminaries as Wild Bill Hickok, Bat Masterson and his brothers, Wyatt Earp, Butch Cassidy, and other lesser-known figures from his early years through Prohibition. He was a man who met Raymond Chandler’s definition of the perfect private eye hero more than fifty years before it occurred to Chandler: “If there were enough like him, I think the world would be a very safe place to live in, and yet not too dull to be worth living in.”
