Sinopsis

After living alone in a cave for twenty-nine months in the desolate Avawatz Mountain Range, David shares with readers hysterically funny yarns about how he dealt with tarantulas, excessively annoying tourists, traveling preachers, boot-stealing desert varmints, foul water, a hungry owl forty feet tall, irate fathers, and sheriff deputies in hot pursuit of him. The memoir is written with a unique voice well-suited for story-telling, and includes original research of the USA Southwest and the Mojave Desert.


The history within this memoir includes the trials and travails of the "two-gun fighters" Robert Hollimon and Matt Burts; assorted cow detectives and range riders; the ghost of an upset payroll robber, severed Paiute heads; train robbers; bootleggers; the Death Valley Lee Brothers, and more.
