Three years in the making, "Prince of Pistoleers" transports you to the Wild West before it was tame and before Wild Bill Hickok was 'Wild.'

Experience the events that shaped Hickok's childhood and youth when his family helped the Underground Railroad. Witness the romance that nearly changed the course of his life. Follow him through the Civil War as he became an unsung hero for the Union. And experience the first gunfight that defined western lore forever.

Jerry's "Prince of Pistoleers" has received accolades from readers and critics alike, currently with a 4.7 rating on Amazon and having placed as a finalist in the 2025 American Writing Awards.
