May 31, 1885 - The Idaho Territory Back before I shot Mr. Bennett, most every day was 'bout the same. Do what Pa said, work when I had to, eat when I could, sleep somewheres, start again when the sun come up. But after I got arrested, I didn't have Pa to listen to no more. He wasn't going to prison. Just me. Being that I was already ten and some, I figured I could pretty much take care of myself. Excerpted from Prisoner 88 by Leah Pileggi All rights reserved by the original copyright owners.
