The information was comiled by a friend and admirer from data provided by Young except for the last chapter which was compiled by another of his intimate friends. Hired by Marion Law Enforcement League to bring order to Williamson County,
Young soon proved to be more disruptive to the peace of the area than any number of bootleggers, gamblers, and gunmen. He was killed in 1925 in a shootout in Herrin that might have come from a Zane Gray novel. A clean very presentable copy.
