Sold for a Song

By Peter Netzel

If you enjoy tales from the Old West, this is the book for you. Inside you will find stories about men who found rich mines and their fates. The book is based on an old newspaper article which told briefly of famous mines and their mostly forgotten discoverers and how they profited little from their riches. The characters in Sold For A Song went from rags to riches, back to rags and empty pocketsMen such as George Fryer, "Old Virginny" Fennimore, "Old Pancake" Henry Comstock, and Bill Bodie have interesting stories to tell. We even included a few others such as Baby Doe Tabor, Henry Plummer, Doughnut Bill and William Fairweather. Read the stories of lives ended by various means, a bullet to the head, drinking one's self to death, freezing to death and even getting kicked to death by a horse.
