Norfleet (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169329966)

Norfleet is a memoir written by J. Frank Norfleet, detailing his experiences as a victim of one of the largest confidence schemes in American history. In the early 1900s, Norfleet was duped by a group of con artists who stole his life savings and left him destitute. Determined to seek justice, Norfleet embarked on a years-long quest to track down the swindlers and bring them to trial. Along the way, he encountered a cast of colorful characters and traveled across the country, often risking his own safety in pursuit of his goal. Norfleet's account is a fascinating glimpse into the world of confidence men and the lengths to which one man was willing to go to seek retribution.This work contains the actual experiences of J. Frank Norfleet, a Texas rancher, and his 30,000 mile transcontinental chase after five confidence men. This true story takes the reader from the Atlantic to the Pacific in Norfleet's four year chase after a gang of international swindlers. Prior to his contact with this gang, Norfleet had been a man of peace, with kindest feeling toward all humanity and malice toward none. This is a wonderful adventure which will keep the reader enthralled.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
