  Best known for catching wolves alive with his bare hands, John R Abernathy (1876-1941) was born to Scottish ancestors in Texas. By forcing his hand deep enough into a wolf's mouth, he could stun the creature long enough to capture it, a service for which he was paid fifty dollars by eager ranchers. This book brings Abernathy's account of his life.
