George Manning was born in Nacogdoches, Texas in 1874. In his eighties, George wrote of his Old West experiences for posterity. I have edited and contributed to my grandfather’s original story and present Grandpa’s Tale to you. A novel revolving around his befriending a wounded Charlie Wilson, he becomes a messenger between the U.S. Marshals and Wilson, gathering information used to deliver western justice near the Jack Fork Mountains.
