NOTES

Originally published in 1924, this is the true story of J. Frank Norfleet, a typical West Texas ranchman, and his four-year chase after a gang of international swindlers, which takes the reader on a transcontinental journey-from the Atlantic to the Pacific; from Mexico and Cuba into Canada. A gripping and incredible chronicle of one man's dedication to break up an international crime ring. True story of West Texas rancher J. Frank Norfleet, cousin to General Robert E. Lee on his grandmother's side, who was deceived and robbed by sophisticated politicians and financiers and proceeded to track them across continents-from the Atlantic to the Pacific; from Mexico and Cuba into Canada-to bring them to justice. Applauded by the U. S. Department of Justice, Norfleet set an example in his time that rings as true today-do not let yourself be abused by financial manipulators who pervert laws to rob the common man! A gripping and incredible chronicle of one man's dedication to break up an international crime ring
