Inside pages clean and binding is tight.Laid in brochure from the Steck Company about the book.The book is a rare bit of Texas and Austin history that is often overlooked. This exciting account was written by Thompson's lawyer. William Keleher said, "Probably no man, before or since, crowded more excitement into 43 years than did Ben Thompson." Floyd Streeter, mentioning Hickok, Earp, Masterson, Hardin, and Billy the Kid, stated: "While every one of these men was brave beyond question and made an excellent record, Ben Thompson was the most dangerous in deadly combat with a pistol than any other gunman then living and won every battle but the last. This record made him the most feared fighter of his day."
