Still working on this guy.
Daily Revised Whip Out:"Jesse James In Hell."
Sometimes we forget who brought us to the dance. For me, it was this guy.
Yes, he changed the spelling of his name, and he was zany with a wicked sense of humor. He was talented. He loved Arizona, and, it must be said, he was also a flaming liar. It's not official but this should be the criteria, if not the prerequisite for living in Arizona.
A Serial Monogomist
Oh, and he was married, maybe, eight times?
I'm boning up on his crazy life for one of the last history talks I'm giving at the Hermosa Inn this Sunday evening. It will be a celebration because he is from my tribe.
"A good writer of history is a person who is suspicious. Suspicion marks the real difference between someone who wants to write honest history vs. those who just want to tell a good story."
