During those final years, Horn's work in Wyoming was interrupted by his service as a packer for the US army, in Cuba, during the Spanish American War. His service ran from April 1898 to September 1898.
Before returning to Wyoming he helped cattlemen rid rustlers from Brown's Park, Colorado, in 1900.
When back in Wyoming, Horn was eventually arrested for the July 18, 1901 murder of 14 year-old Willie Nickell. Much of the book then relates how Tom Horn was arrested, convicted for murder, tried, and hanged on November 20, 1903.
This is a well-researched book, with hundreds of endnotes. It includes a number of photos and illustrations which enhance the read. It also has a large bibliography and a helpful index.
I am glad to have read the book and encourage persons who want to learn about the life of Tom Horn to read this fine book.… (mer)
