Best known for catching wolves alive with his bare hands, John R.
Abernathy (1876-1941) was born to Scottish ancestors in Texas.
Raised in the burgeoning railroad town of Sweetwater, Abernathy
considered himself a true son of the Wild West. In his amazing life
he worked as a U.S. marshal, sheriff, Secret Service agent, and
wildcat oil driller. But it was the accidental discovery of a bold
means of catching wolves alive that made Abernathy famous and drew
the attention of President Theodore Roosevelt. By forcing his hand
deep enough into a wolf's mouth, he could stun the creature long
enough to capture it, a service for which he was paid fifty dollars
by eager ranchers. This Bison Books edition brings Abernathy's
vivid account of his life into print for the first time since its
original publication in 1936.
