He fought in the War with Mexico, founded the Swilling Irrigation Canal Company, owned a number of mines, and captured Indian Chief Mangas Colorados making New Mexico a safer place for everyone. Jack's fate was sealed when he was falsely accused of a stagecoach robbery. He languished in the Yuma county jail, and only after his death was his name cleared. Written by biographer and historian R. Michael Wilson, 'Tragic Jack' reveals the true story behind this amazing pioneers dramatic life and death.
