The Meanest Man In Texas

"A true story...
The amazing and miraculous true story of Clyde Thompson. He killed two men when he was 17 years old. The year was 1928 and the place was rural west Texas. He was nearly lynched while awaiting trial and then was sent to death row.
Thompson's killing streak didn't stop there. Nor did his desire to escape from prison. Prison officials finally gave him The Meanest Man in Texas moniker, and the prison chaplain said he was a man without a soul. Without hope, Thompson reached out for help. Then his life started to change." http://www.quarrypressbooks.com/

I mistakenly said in an earlier post this book was out of print then received a comment that it is not and is carried by Quarry Press Books. Regardless of how you get a copy- read it, you'll be surprised at what you may learn about history, prison, spirituality and your own assumptions of these issues. It was one of the most well written books I've ever read regardless of subject and as I recall I only had to open it three times to finish it- simply could not put it down.
