It is long past time for the publication of a well-researched, definitive biography of the infamous western outlaw Harvey Alexander Logan, better known by his alias Kid Curry. Mark T. Smokov has researched extensively in areas significant to Curry's story, talking to local ranchers and townspeople, visiting museums, and collecting pertinent material and photographs. He corrects the many false statements that have been written about Curry in the past, presenting a much more accurate and balanced account of his life.

MARK T. SMOKOV is the author of several articles on Kid Curry and other western outlaws. He has written for the WWHA Journal, the NOLA Quarterly, the WOLA Journal, Wild West magazine, and the Tombstone Epitaph. He is a life-long resident of Seattle, Washington, and a graduate of the University of Washington.
