Complete History of Southern Illinois' Gang War : The True Story of Southern Illinois Gang War Fare (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Complete History of Southern Illinois' Gang War: The True Story of Southern Illinois Gang War Fare

And such were the stories of the life of S. Glenn Young until the time he bit the dust as he had seen so many do who had failed to beat him to the draw.

The writer knows Young to have been a fearless man and one who could draw a gun in the time it would take one to wink an eye.

S. Glenn Young to his admirers was a dauntless crusader who feared neither man nor the devil in fighting sin such as he found it in and around Herrin. To those who hated him, he was a swashbuckling inter loper whose own violences were greater than the crimes he attempted to correct.
