About This Book

An episodic autobiographical account traces a self-styled notorious man's travels through seafaring life, prizefighting, gambling, and frontier oil towns, recording fights, attempted murders, arrests and acquittals, and a variety of business ventures. Vivid anecdotes alternate with episodes involving theatrical and social enterprises, political activity, and the running of saloons and dance houses, alongside strained personal relationships. Interspersed reflective chapters address temperance, prison reform, gambling, and physical culture, and the work closes with the narrator's retrospective appraisal of his career and opinions on reform.
