Gail's newest book, co-authored with Lou Legerton of Paradise, CA, is out!
BLACK BART: THE POET BANDIT.

BLACK BART: THE POET BANDIT follows the life of the infamous and enigmatic California highwayman and scourge of Wells Fargo, BLACK BART. The 55,000 word novel explores the person behind the flour-sack mask and plugged shotgun, Charles E. Boles, aka BLACK BART.

According to the authors, this is the first novel written about the man who successfully held up 28 of 29 Wells Fargo stages across Northern California and Southern Oregon. According to the authors, "All other volumes about Charles are exclusively about his holdups. This story portrays the man and his early life, as well as his criminal adventures. He really is a fascinating character."

Gail Jenner adds, "The story chronicles Bart¹s participation in the gold rush, the Civil War, where he fought admirably and advanced from private to first sergeant, his post-war years and failed marriage, several of his robberies, and even his purported love affair. The story ends with an epilogue that explores the known facts and myriad of tall tales related to his final years. To this day, Wells Fargo offers a reward for Black Bart.

Lou Legerton notes that "Though Bart was an outlaw, he possessed a great sense of humor, was well-liked and often called a gentleman."
