NOTES

The compelling story of Al Jennings (Six-Guns) and O. Henry (William Sidney Porter), who prior to his pen name was known as Bill Porter, and their shared experience doing time at the Ohio Penitentiary, with Mr. Porter going on to become one of American literature's best known and loved authors. Jennings was a genuine Old West outlaw, a convicted cattle rustler and train robber, who eventually became a film star playing himself during the silent movie period of the 1920s. Six Guns says, "This book deals mostly with Jenning's prison life and his friendship with O. Henry, who was confined in the same prison."-print ed
