     This book, Matt Warner's autobiography as he told it to author Murray King in the late 1930s, is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the members of the Wild Bunch and some of its early criminal activity. Warner was a friend of Butch Cassidy and brother-in-law of Tom McCarty, and like Butch, he grew up in a Mormon ranch family in Utah. After serving a stint in prison, he later became a justice of the peace and a deputy sherif​

     Sometimes Warner's accounts don't jibe with what others have said or written about events. And he was prone to more than a little personal bragging. But it still offers incredible information about what life was like for a late 19th century outlaw.

     

ABOUT ME

I retired as editorial page editor of The Daily Sentinel in Grand Junction, Colorado in 2014. Since then, I've continued to write a twice-a-month history column for the Sentinel, while seizing every opportunity I can, with my wife Judy or my horses, to enjoy the beautiful outdoors of the Colorado Plateau.
