Old West Lawman's Forgotten Memoir. . .

“Experience What It Was Really Like

To Live And Die

In The Real Old West”

From A Recently Discovered, First-hand Factual Account Of The Shootouts

And Narrow Escapes Of The Old West’s Most Un-Famous, Famous Lawman

Read how a long-forgotten memoir by a genuine Old West lawman reveals

the intriguing---and at times very disturbing---true story

of the real, raw, Wild West.

This fascinating 303 page old book is a time machine that instantly

takes you back and gives the true picture of what it took to be a lawman

in the real Old West.

"The book is great. I have read other so called real west books and a few magazines, but this one tops all the others."
- Franklin Foster. Warwick, R.I.

This is not an old west wanted poster. It's me wearing my favorite cowboy hat.

Howdy,

My name is Jim Huebner.

I’m a city slicker living in Sarasota Florida.

But I’m a cowboy at heart.

I especially love - -no make that - - am crazy about - - the real Old West.

I got hooked at any early age. I vividly remember telling my mother “I wish I could be a cowboy”. At Christmas when the other kids listened for Jingle bells. I listened for Jiggle bob’s. Ever since I’ve read everything I could get my hands on written about the Old West. My wife likes to call me an Old West “junkie.”

In particular, the lawmen fascinate me. And maybe like me, you too have read lots of books written about the real Old West. But, none of them gave you the feeling of being in the real Old West.

Frank “Pistol Pete” Eaton. The Old West’s most un-famous, famous lawman.

Well, that changed for me when I stumbled across the memoir of the Old West's most un-famous, famous lawman.

His name was Frank Eaton. But, he was known simply as: "Pistol Pete" And he was one of the youngest -if not the youngest -Deputy U.S. Marshal getting his commission when he was just 17 years old. He would go on to carve 11 notches on his guns and be one of the most feared men of his time to ever buckle on a gun rig.

Sadly, his name and memoir have fallen through the cracks of history and are in real danger of vanishing forever like an unmarked grave on the prairie.

But, I'm on a mission…a mission to keep "Pistol Pete's" name alive by bringing his fascinating----and at times disturbing---life story to everyone who's passionate about the real Old West.

CAUTION: This is not the Old West where a guy wearing a mask firing silver bullets shoots the guns out of the bad guy’s hands. Or the singing cowboy with the white hat rescues the schoolmarm. No sir! This is a real Old West gunfighter telling his true-life story in his own words that totally immerses you in what it was like to live - - and die - - in the real, raw, Old West.

"I have been having a good time with that book. I am realizing that what I've heard from other sources pale in compassion to Pete's life experiences."

“Pistol Pete” Really Brought The Real Old West Alive For Me

Reading his words gave me such a living, breathing, experience of saddling up and riding with him in the real Old West. . . I felt I needed to wash off the trail dust.

Always a man of straight talk, here's what he said on the very first page of his memoir:

"My friend and partner, Eva Gillhouse, wrote this book.
It's just the way I told it to her -it's all-true and
I'll back her with both guns."

"Pistol Pete" got his nickname of when just a boy of 15 because a family friend said he could: "Shoot the head off a snake with either hand." And what makes his being such a dead shot really remarkable is he was born with a crossed left eye. But, he figured out way to hit what he was aiming at without needing to sight down the barrel. Then, "Pistol Pete's" west really gets wild.

"The Boy Who Packed The Truest and Fastest Guns In Indian Territory"

By the time he was 16, he'd mastered a thumbed, two-gun, high hip, cross-draw so lightening fast he gunned down a local bad hombre despite the troublemaker already having his Winchester:

"Leveled, ready for business. But like a
rattler, my hand went to my hip."

"Before his gun went off there were two
forty-fives through his breast."

"He fell on his face on the ground with
his gun under him."

From that day forward his reputation as: "The boy who packed the truest and fastest guns in Indian Territory" was born. And his future as a gunfighter was sealed.

"Pistol Pete" always lived the cowboy code of never going back on his word or backing down from a fight. And he would carry his pair of loaded Colt .45 Peacemakers right up until he died at age 97. Born in 1861, he died with his boots on the way a real Old West gunfighter should on Easter Sunday 1958. 2008 marks the 50^th year of his passing.

He often said his best life insurance was:

"Throwin' a lot a lead fast and straight"

Just let this sink in for a minute what an extraordinary man this was……

· A dead shot at 15.

· Puts the first of 11 notches on his guns at 16.

· Gets his Deputy U.S. Marshall's commission at 17.

· Lives to be 97.

That's darn amazing to me. Do you know of anyone else from the old west that lived a life like this? I sure don't.

Here again in his own words are just a few of the fascinating details in his memoir of what it took to survive as a gunfighter in the real, raw, Old West

· The riveting account of his relentless tracking down and score-settling revenge on each of the six men he witnessed murder his father in cold-blood:

He said, “What are you doing here, and what do you want?”

“I just want you” I said,

“Who the hell are you anyhow? And how do you know who I am?”

“I am Frank Eaton and I ought to know you.”

"You killed my father.” “Fill your hand you son-of-a-bitch."

We both went for our guns. He landed cold dead with a forty-four clear through him.

· The method he used to instantly size up a dangerous opponent and the location to gain every advantage before getting into a deadly shoot-out.

“He’s going to kill you on sight.”

“Maybe you are right.”

“I have a warrant for him for murder, and I intend to serve it.”

“If he resists arrest one of us will sling hash in hell tomorrow.”

· His against all odds survival of "A Hell Of A Fix" when a band of renegade Cheyenne braves:

Came charging like a bunch of mad bulls,

one of ‘em shot my horse between the eyes

and was coming to get my scalp.

A fellow only has one time to die, and it looked like my time had come.
