"The last great folk tale of the last American frontier"--that's how Jay Monaghan describes the crimson career of Tom Horn, defender of property rights, soldier of fortune, range detective, professional killer. Tom Horn, who had chased after Geronimo and ridden the trains as a Pinkerton operative, was drawn to wherever the action was--ultimately to Wyoming as a hired gun for the cattle barons. Finally he went too far--and paid at the end of a rope in 1903. For years afterward, whenever a man was found murdered on the high plains, people said, "Somebody tom-horned that fellow."

The book has no footnotes or endnotes, but the author cites numerous individuals and documents as sources for his work. It also includes a bibliography and a helpful index.
I suggest readers would benefit from this book, if they are interested in learning more than stark facts about Tom Horn. I definitely am glad to have read it and have it in my small library.
