Acknowledgments:
    "Thanks to Peggy Draper, Director of the Lincoln County Library in Pioche, Nevada.
     Thanks to Betty Yarbrough, Director; Sheila Williams, Assistant Director; and Mary Wilber, Reference Librarian of the Euless Public Library, Euless, Texas.
     These modern day trackers never quit the trail. Without helpful librarians writers run out of breath and turn blue.
     Affection to the citizens of Pioche, Nevada, a town with a lurid, violent, funny fascinating history and a great place to visit. I used, twisted, and tinkered with Pioche history in this book. The real story is too strong to swallow straight.
     Sometimes truth, like even the best Scotch, needs watering down to make believable fiction."

Dedication: "To Joan, perfect body guard for the long passage."
