The Life and Times of Benjamin Franklin Young

The man known as Benjamin Franklin Young was a survivor of the 19th Century, a man who felt he wasn't fully dressed without his side-arms. He was a fighter, a lover, a survivor who made it into the Twentieth Century. The days of his youthful childhood were completely lost to him; the gun, the saddle, the smell of wood burning in the boiler of a train were gone. He moved to a pace at Fort Dick that was almost as primitive as the place he grew up in Indiana, but he still remembered what 1892 felt like.
This is a remembrance of the life and times of Benjamin Franklin Young - a hero to his grandson and a colorful figure of the Old West.
