Following is taken from the publisher's blurb: ''Full of flamboyant comedy, this outrageously uninhibited book is the product of a middle western lawyer, who got his early training in a saloon, rustling sandwiches and booze for his mentor, 'Justice' Ankrom, part-time blacksmith and ranting attorney of the old fire-eating school. The author's early training has had an influence on both his hyperbolic style and his pungent subject matter. A natural writer, he tells a story with a gifted rambunctiousness of phrase, yet the touchstone of human warmth is the author's own personality, a searching kindliness behind his humor.''
