"The Long Forgotten Memoir
By A Genuine Old West Lawman
Reveals The Intriguing
--And At Times Disturbing--
Eye Opening True Story
Of What Really Went On
In The Wild West"

This Is The Real-Life, First-Hand, Factual Account Of What It Was Like To Live And Die In The Real Old West Told By A Gunfighter, That Carved The First Of 11 Notches On His Guns When At Just A Boy Of 16 Then He Went On To Be One Of The Youngest -If Not The Youngest- Deputy U.S. Marshal In Old West History.

"The book is great. I have read other so called real west books and
a few magazines, but this one tops all the others."
- Franklin Foster. Warwick, R.I.
Frank “Pistol Pete” Eaton. The
Old West’s most un-famous,
famous lawman.

Who was he?

His name was Frank Eaton and he was known simply as: "Pistol Pete"

But don't be suprised if you've never heard of 'em because you won’t find his name in any of today's western history encyclopedias or glorified in legend or song. But he was one of the most feared men of his time to ever buckle on a gun rig.

"Pistol Pete" got his nickname when he was 15 years old because a family friend said he could: "Shoot the head off a snake with either hand." And what makes his being such a dead shot really remarkable is he was born with a crossed left eye. But, he figured out a way to hit what he was aiming at without needing to sight down the barrel.

Then, "Pistol Pete's" west really gets wild.

"The Boy Who Packed The Truest and Fastest Guns In Indian Territory"

By the time he was 16, he'd mastered a thumbed, two-gun, high hip, cross-draw so lightening fast he gunned down a local bad hombre despite the troublemaker already having his Winchester:


"Leveled, ready for business. But like a
rattler, my hand went to my hip."
"Before his gun went off there were two
forty-fives through his breast."
"He fell on his face on the ground with
his gun under him."
From that day forward "Pistol Pete's" reputation as: "The boy who packed the truest and fastest guns in Indian Territory" was born. And his future as a gunfighter was sealed.

He would go on to carve 11 notches on his guns.

At age 17 he got his commission as a Deputy U.S. Marshal becoming one of the youngest - if not the youngest - Deputy U.S. Marshal in Old West history.

"Pistol Pete" always lived the cowboy code of never going back on his word or backing down from a fight. And he would carry his pair of loaded Colt .45 Peacemakers right up until he died at age 97. Born in 1861, he died with his boots on the way a real Old West gunfighter should on Easter Sunday 1958. 2008 marks the 50th year of his passing.

He often said his best life insurance was:

"Throwin' a lot a lead fast and straight"
Just let this sink in for a minute what an extraordinary man this was……
·
A dead shot at 15.
·
Puts the first of 11 notches on his guns at 16.
·
Gets his Deputy U.S. Marshall's commission at 17.
·
Lives to be 97 - - when other gunfighters were shot, hung, or otherwise met their demise in their 20's and 30's.

Sadly, “Pistol Pete’s” name and memoir have fallen through the cracks of history and are in real danger of vanishing forever like an unmarked grave on the prairie.

But, I'm on a mission…a mission to keep "Pistol Pete's" name alive by bringing his fascinating---and at times disturbing---true life story to everyone who's passionate about the real Old West.

This is not an old west wanted
poster. It's me wearing my favorite
cowboy hat.

Howdy,

My name is Jim Huebner.

I’m a city slicker living in Sarasota Florida.

But I’m a cowboy at heart.

I especially love - -no make that - - am crazy about - - the Old West as it really was.

I got hooked when I was just a young whipper-snapper. And ever since I’ve read every real Old West book and magazine I could get my hands on. Some were stinkers, most have been decent. But, they all were ABOUT the Old West

None of them gave me the feeling of being IN the real Old West.

Well, that all changed when I stumbled across "Pistol Pete's" memoir stashed in an old trunk hidden away in an abandoned barn.

I Needed To Wash Off The Trail Dust

Reading "Pistol Pete's" words gave me such a living, breathing, experience of saddling up and riding with him in the real Old West. . . I felt I needed to wash off the trail dust.
Always a man of straight talk, here's what he said on the very first page of his memoir:
"My friend and partner, Eva Gillhouse, wrote this book.
It's just the way I told it to her -it's all-true and
I'll back her with both guns."
Here are more of the priceless nuggets only found in “Pistol Pete’s” memoir because they could only be told by someone with dusty boots who actually lived it that had me turning the pages like a speed reader:
·
The riveting account of his relentless tracking down and score-settling revenge on each of the six men he witnessed murder his father in cold-blood:
He said, “What are you doing here, and what do you want?”
“I just want you,” I said,
“Who the hell are you anyhow? And how do you know who I am?”
“I am Frank Eaton and I ought to know you.”
"You killed my father.” “Fill your hand you son-of-a-bitch."
We both went for our guns. He landed cold dead with a forty-four clear through him.
·
The method he used to instantly size up a dangerous opponent and the location to gain every advantage before getting into a deadly shoot-out:
“He’s going to kill you on sight.”
“Maybe you are right.”
“I have a warrant for him for murder, and I intend to serve it.”
“If he resists arrest one of us will sling hash in hell tomorrow.”
·
His against all odds survival of "A Hell Of A Fix"shotgun/rifle battle with a band of renegade Cheyenne braves:
"Came charging like a bunch of mad bulls,
one of ‘em shot my horse between the eyes
and was coming to get my scalp."
"A fellow only has one time to die, and it looked like my time had come."
More nitty-gritty details from "Pistol Pete's" fascinating, one-of-a-kind, life as a top-hand horseback cowboy, Indian fighter and law dawg in the real Old West.

·
Where to tie a horse so it won’t get hit by a stray bullet in case there’s a gunfight.
·
When driving cattle, the best time of day to cross water.
·
How to turn a stampeding herd while having "The BeJesus scared out of ya"
·
The cowboy’s call for help and the term that once said - -
meant instant death.
·
How to find signs of Indians.
·
What never to do around the campfire at night in hostile Indian Territory.
·
How to follow an outlaw’s trail at night.

"Pistol Pete's" one-of-a-kind life story is an important part of real Old West history that should be saved and remembered. So, I've spent a bunch of hours refurbishing this long out of print, forgotten, classic so cowboy action and fast draw shooters, Old West re-enactors, and fans of the Wild West can have the same experience I did of saddling up and riding with “Pistol Pete.”

Straight Shootin', No Questions, 30 Day Money Back Promise

In the Old West the “Cowboy Way” was a man looked you in the eye, shook your hand and gave you his word.
 
Jim Huebner

I can’t shake your hand over the Internet, but I can look you in the eye and give you my word:

“Take 30 days to look the book over. If you decide for any reason (or no reason at all) you don’t want to keep it, send me an email at jimhuebner@comcast.net. Or call me on my cell phone: 941/376-1595 to tell me you’re sending it back and I’ll refund your money pronto the very same day I get the book back. No questions asked. No hard feelings.”

Fair enough?

As “Pistol Pete” would say: “Much obliged and so long partner.”
