| Abstract |
"'A roving, shiftless fellow...' That's how the newspapers described Jesse C. Walker, who in 1908 was service with an arrest warrent by Brunswick County sheriff Jackson Stanland, with tragic results. Little did walker know that he was about to set off on twenty-five years of headline-grabbing exploits. Two murders, two wives, three prison escapes and thousands of miles of travel across eight states are only the surface of the adventures of this North Carolina desperado"--Page 4 of cover. |
