When I was nine years of age, my father moved our family from Texas to a farm in Arkansas. I was very interested in folklore, dialects and old tales of crime gangs of the past. Some seven decades later I tried to tell a story about what might have happened in years gone by as well as covering current fictional characters when a crime wave hit Eureka Springs, Arkansas.
