| Publisher Description: The outlaw Fleming "James" Parker is one of Northern Arizona's most enduring legends-his exploits (both real and imagined) have been the subject of campfire stories and articles in pulp magazines for generations. But in spite of this, there has never been a detailed biography published on this famous train-robber and murderer-until now Drawing on original articles, eyewitness accounts, and court papers, author Parker Anderson has written the most comprehensive account of Fleming Parker's life and crimes to date, beginning with his early petty crimes in Visalia, California; his friendship with Yavapai County Sheriff George C. Ruffner; his botched train robbery in Peach Springs, Arizona; to his hanging for murder in Prescott, Arizona in 1898. |
