Product Description
This is the story of Diamondfield Jack Davis,
a young cowboy hired in 1895 by a wealthy
cattle company. When two of the sheepherders
Davis had been hired to intimidate were
found dead, Davis was quickly tried, convicted,
and sentenced to hang. Appeals kept
him alive until the true killers confessed, but
Davis wasn’t released until 1902.
