Frank Eaton, known to all as Pistol Pete, was one of the most colorful characters in the American West. Today, he is mainly remembered as the mascot for Oklahoma State University. Pete led an exciting life during the turbulent times of Oklahoma and Indian Territory as a cowboy, lawman, stock detective and blacksmith.He was also a spell-binding storyteller. The tragic murder of his father and Pete’s crusade as a teenager to bring the murderers to justice is one of the most remarkable stories ever told. This book tells Pete’s inspiring story for the first time for the younger reader. Some historians questioned the facts in Pete’s autobiography, co-written by Eva Gillhouse, to which Pete said, 'It’s just the way I told it to her -I t’s all true - and I’ll back her with both guns.'
