Like the legendary Samson of old, Orrin Porter Rockwell will forever be remembered as the man who did the impossible. One of the most colorful characters in LDS history, Rockwell was a famous frontiersman, a deadly marksman, and a staunch advocate of the LDS faith. Rockwell is the true story of the timid farm boy from New York who became the greatest gunfighter in the history of the American West. He drank his whiskey straight, signed his name with an X, and rode the fastest horses. The defender of the early Mormon prophets, he was known as the Destroying Angel of the Old West. Now, renowned author Lee Nelson has captured Rockwell s history in this biographical novel about the celebrated outlaw.
