Synopsis:
Nowadays, I understand, the tourists come for miles to see Hendry Jones' grave out on the Punta del Diablo and to debate whether his bones are there or not...
A stark and violent depiction of one of America's most alluring folk heroes, the mythical doomed gunslinger. Set on the majestic coast of Southern California, Doc Baker narrates his tale of the Kid's capture, trial, escape and eventual murder. Written in spare and subtle prose, this is one of the great literary treatments of America's obsession with the rule of the gun.
About the Author: CHARLES NEIDER (1915-2001) was a Jewish refugee from Odessa who became a scholar of the works of Mark Twain. The Authentic Death of Hendry Jones was the basis of the only film directed by Marlon Brando, One-Eyed Jacks.
