Under Cover for Wells Fargo: The Unvarnished Recollections of Fred Dodge (Western Frontier Library)

Rating:
Summary: FIRST HALF OF BOOK IS FAKE BY LAKE
Review: Casey Tefertiller who brought us a brilliant book on Wyatt Earp (The Life and Legend) in 1997 wrote an introduction to this book, knowing that it was written by two different people. Dodge was never undercover for Wells Fargo. There is not a shred of evidence of that. His widow said his Tombstone notes were burned so Lake faked the first half and now Tefertiller should have used terpentine to remove varnish and reveal truth. Another hoax a la .... Another demerit for a University Press.

Review: I loved reading this book. I am not a western theme type reader and although I may be bias, it was a great book.

Review: While some claim that Fred Dodge was never a Undercover Agent for Wells Fargo, in Jim Bartz' book Company Property (of Wells Fargo) which details documented articles used by and belonging to Wells Fargo Express Co., there's an offical Wells Fargo photograph dossier shown that was compiled by and is labelled "Fred Dodge" as well as "Official Wells Fargo Photographs", that has been authenticated and is a Rogues Gallery of notable robbers that were compiled by Mr. Dodge. Apparently Wells Fargo historians believe that Fred Dodge worked for them.
