A Little Bit About a Great American
It wasn’t the
first time he had a noose around his neck. They pulled him out of his bed,
disregarded his crutches, tied the other end of the rope around the bumper of

dragged off the corpse they displayed for this photo.
What
do we have?
Xeroxes of various magazine articles. One attempted biography,
but most of them are just reminiscences or descriptions of his death. A lot of
the info is contradictory. A few photos taken in Yale, Oklahoma, Butte,
Montana, and Fresno, California where we went in search of Frank Little
