Description: ROCKWELL A NOVEL Written by Richard Lloyd Dewey. Published by Paramount Books, New York. Copyright 1987; There is no statement of edition, but “November 1987” is stated on the copyright page and there are no other printing listed—so, the first printing. From Wikipedia: Orrin Porter Rockwell (June 28, 1813 or June 25, 1815 – June 9, 1878) was a figure of the Wild West period of American history as well as a Mormon and a law man in the Utah Territory. Nicknamed Old Port and labeled "The Destroying Angel of Mormondom", he was as famous and controversial during his lifetime as Wyatt Earp and Pat Garrett. He was a bodyguard and personal friend of Joseph Smith, the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement. DESCRIPTION: 204 pages 9 3/8 x 6 1/2 inches first edition hardcover with dustjacket CONDITION: This hard-cover book is in fine condition with a near fine dustjacket. The hardcover (black paper covered boards with black cloth spine) is clean and shows only slight wear at the corners and spine ends. The interior is excellent with no names, marks, underlining, tears or odor. The hinges and binding are excellent with no loose or missing pages. The dustjacket is complete with price intact on the front flap, but has some lighter or rubbing at the corners. From the dust jacket description: A complex and fascinating character, Porter Rockwell procured a gunfighting legend still unmatched in American history and lore. Richard Lloyd Dewey has fleshed out Rockwell’s character with savvy, backed by research from his own definitive work, Porter Rockwell: A Biography. In this fast-moving adventure story, truer to history than most fiction and perhaps more accurately defined as a “documentary novel,” the author illuminates the man under dramatic conflict and in the process unravels the incongruities and metaphors of survival in utilitarian society. Raw, rugged and unrelenting, Rockwell’s battles against seemingly insurmountable odds thematically and movingly portray both the struggles and the triumphs of the human spirit.
