Product Description
by Robby McMurtry (Author)
For those who know Pistol Pete only as a college mascot, here is the story of the real man who inspired the image. Frank Eaton (1860?-1958), better known as Pistol Pete, came of age in the old Indian Nations, before Oklahoma, as such, existed. Here, based on his own memoirs and testimony, is the story of a young man in search of the men who killed his father. It is a tale of foul murder; fast friendships; sweet romance; and final revenge-classical elements in the history and mythology of the American West.
