Diamondfield: Finding the Real Jack Davis

The Old West yielded few murder trials more spectacular or more misunderstood than that of "Diamondfield" Jack Davis. After near brushes with the noose and after years of legal maneuvering, Davis was pardoned though many people continued to believe him guilty. Max Black has spent years researching the Diamondfield saga and found startling new evidence never before uncovered including the weapon and one of the bullets involved in the crime and now sets out the definitive story, about how Davis wasn't and couldn't have been the killer and about who was. And he tells the story of Davis' littleknown second life after prison, when he made and lost fortunes in the mining fields of Nevada.
