Description

This is a biography of Frank Canton who after conviction and imprisonment for armed robbery, escaped to change his name and transform himself into an ambitious, hard-working peace officer. He was active in Texas, Wyoming, Oklahoma and Alaska during the late-19th and early-20th century. Historian Robert K. DeArment has used an extensive amount of primary materials - court records, contemporary periodicals, and Canton's own writings and memorabilia collected during his lifetime - to track down the facts of the mysterious Canton's early life and misdeeds in Texas; his participation in the Johnson county war; his pursuit of the Daltons, Bill Doolin, and other outlaws in Oklahoma territory; and his experience as a bounty hunter and ultimate success as adjunct general of the new state of Oklahoma.
