It is claimed that at the age of twenty-one years old, he was believed to have been one of the most notorious and dangerous "pistol-tot-n" outlaws of the old west.It is also claimed that he was only twelve years old when he killed his first man for insulting his mother then slapping her down in the middle of the street.

They say he killed a man for every year of his life; twenty-one years old, twenty-one men. Could this be true? And speaking of truth, was his name really William H. Bonny? Well, you had better read this book and find out for sure.
