"At the start of the autobiography, Cole Younger introduces himself and the purpose of his narrative, which is to provide an authentic account of his life and correct misconceptions propagated by sensationalist writings. He reflects on the heavy political tensions in Missouri during his boyhood that eventually led him into a life of violence and conflict, particularly after the brutal murder of his father.
