TOM JEFFORDS: Friend of Cochise

This true story of a man, Tom Jeffords, who headed West drawn by the lure of the Pike's Peak Gold Rush in 1858; made a life for himself over a decade as he scouted for the army, prospected, and became a businessman; and then was immortalized by Jimmy Stewart in 1950s. Hocking reveals that while the myths surrounding those events may have clouded the truth a bit, Jeffords was as brave and impressive as the legend had it. 16 pages of photos, some in color.
