This volume details the life and tragic death of the author, W. C. Brann, who was a controversial figure known for his outspoken critique of societal norms and institutions, particularly in Waco, Texas, where he was ultimately fatally shot in a street duel. The opening of this volume sets a somber tone as it recounts the events leading to Brann's fatal confrontation with Tom E. Davis, a local real estate agent. It describes the build-up of animosity between the two men, largely fueled by Brann's editorial attacks on Baylor University and its supporters, which culminated in a deadly duel in April 1898. The details are vivid, with eyewitness accounts of the shooting and descriptions of the aftermath, including the reactions of their families and the community. The beginning serves not only as a record of a significant event in Waco's history but also as a reflection on the consequences of free speech and social conflict during that era.
