Here's the story of a notorious gunman, called the "fastest gun in the south". Following shoot-outs with officers in 1925, Kinnie Wagner, 21, became one of the most wanted men in America. To some, he was a folk hero. To others, a deadly killer. To all, he is a part of America's history and folklore. This story was originally printed as a continuing series in the Daily News of Kingsport, and was published in book form to meet demand by readers and collectors. Told largely in first person by Pug Potter, a character created especially for this purpose, the story details Wagner's troubles from his first arrest on what he claimed was a bogus charge. He managed to grab a pistol, shot the deputy sheriff who was his guard, and escaped to make his way to Kingsport, Tennessee, where five armed officers apparently attempted to collect the $1,000. dead or alive reward being offered by the Mississippi Sheriff. In the folloiwng shoot-out, two offiers died, one was severly wounded, one ran off, and one palyed dead until the young shooter grabed a horse and fled. This book contains five major parts of his story: Trouble, Trial, Verdict, Escape, and Final Escape. No Appalachian folktale collection is complete without it.
