{"product_id":"sam-bass-9780803250680","title":"Sam Bass","description":"\"The world is bobbing around,\" said Sam Bass the day he died. The day was Sunday, July 21, 1878--Sam's twenty-seventh birthday. Sam had done considerable bobbing around himself. He had been a cowboy, a gambler, a highwayman, and a train robber before he met his fate at Round Rock. His coups were many; his fame legendary. And the strangest thing of all is that he never killed a man until that last gunfight. \"Wayne Gard has done a biography that bears the stamp of authenticity in every sentence. The writing of such a book about such a man is a rare achievement. The author has stuck to ascertainable facts and told a better story than the romancers.\"--Walter Prescott Webb \"As good a biography of a desperado as one may hope to find.\"--Stanley Walker \"Mr. Gard has taken an interesting subject and told his story simply and well. This kind of thing, based on careful research, is worth ten Western thrillers.\"--Joseph Henry Jackson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/1969\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803250680\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.67d","brand":"Pilar Wayne, Wayne Gard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41614399176885,"sku":"9780803250680","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_1bc4671f-7457-48ff-b86e-fcd5dea4cab9.jpg?v=1644900464","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/sam-bass-9780803250680","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
