Cockeyed Frank Loving and Coal Oil Jimmy — Robert F. (Bob) Turpin

This book contains two exciting stories about colorful Old West gunfighters: 1) Cockeyed Frank Loving: Bat Masterson, a western legend himself, put “Cockeyed” Frank Loving on the pages of frontier history in 1907. Masterson wrote several stories for a newspaper about this little known gunfighter. 2) Coal Oil Jimmy: The stagecoach from Elizabeth Town, New Mexico, came to a sudden stop on the main street of Cimarron. As the dust settled, the driver shouted, “Hold-up! Hold-up at Clear Creek!” These words were often heard throughout the towns of the Old West. Stagecoaches were prime targets for outlaw gangs and bandits. James Buckley (alias Coal Oil Jimmy) was one of the best in the business of stagecoach robberies.
