describes the late Harold "Bud" Jackson of Hayfork in many of Jackson's own words. Jackson was a colorful Trinity County backwoodsman, ancher, miner, mule packer, and mountain lion hunter, as well as working occasionally as a special deputy for the Trinity County Sheriff's Department. With his trusty hounds, Jackson was the one who discovered the buried bodies from two murders in the Wildwood area, the body of Ray Latham in 1948 and the body of Stephanie Bryan in 1955, the latter including national media coverage for many months. Ben Letton, a Trinity County native who now lives in Redding, grew up as a close friend of Bud Jackson, spending a week or more at Bud's ranch during summers since Letton was five years old. In later years, Letton conducted oral interviews with Jackson, resulting in a 115-page typed transcript which provided much of the content for the book. 2014. Paperback, 183 pages.
