- Synopsis
- The first full-length biography of the Western legend Tom Jeffords, immortalized by Jimmy Stewart in 1950&’s Broken Arrow. This book tells the true story of a man who headed West drawn by the lure of the Pike&’s Peak Gold Rush in 1858; made a life for himself over a decade as he scouted for the army, prospected, became a business man; then learned the Apache language and rode alone into Cochise&’s camp in order to negotiate peaceful passage for his stagecoach company. In his search for the real story of Jeffords, Cochise, and the parts they played in mid-nineteenth century American history and politics, author Doug Hocking reveals that while the myths surrounding those events may have clouded the truth a bit, Jeffords was almost as brave and impressive as the legend had it.
