The ''Life of Tom Horn: Government Scout and Interpreter'' is a biography of Tom Horn, a legendary figure in the American West. The book is written by Horn himself and covers his life as a government scout and interpreter. Horn was born in 1860 and grew up in Missouri. He became a cowboy and worked on ranches throughout the West. In 1887, he joined the Army as a scout and interpreter, working with the Apache and other Native American tribes. Horn’s life was full of adventure and danger. He was involved in numerous shootouts and was known for his sharpshooting skills. He also worked as a Pinkerton detective and was involved in several high-profile cases. However, Horn’s life took a dark turn when he was accused of murdering a 14-year-old boy in Wyoming. He was found guilty and hanged in 1903.The ''Life of Tom Horn'' provides a fascinating look into the life of a true American cowboy and adventurer. Horn’s own words give readers a firsthand account of his experiences, and the book is filled with vivid descriptions of life on the frontier. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the American West.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
