About this ebook
A Texas outlaw recounts his dramatic life story in this classic historical Western from the multiple Spur Award–winning author.
Joe Pepper is a Texas badman with quite a past. In fact, there isn’t much that Joe hasn’t done in his forty years of living on both sides of the Texas law—except face the hangman.
Now, convicted of murder, Joe is about to get that privilege. But before he goes, Joe has a few things he wants to say-and a few stories that he wants to set straight. This is Joe’s final confession, given without embellishment—or apology.
With Joe Pepper, legendary Western writer Elmer Kelton tells a moving tale of one man’s frontier life, and the history of his home state of Texas.
