About this series
This is the story of Pancho and Lefty, whose lives were memorialized and immortalized in the song "Pancho and Lefty" by Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard. The story is from a written record left for posterity by Jesus "Lefty" Boehm. It is a story of friendship, adventure, murder, and betrayal.
While many of the characters and events in this story are based on real people and true events, this is a work of fiction and an indispensable read for understanding the tenor and the tide of these characters' changing times. From Ohio to Old Mexico, a trail is blazed.
A part of a larger work titled The Character of the Song, Pancho & Lefty is the second of ten short stories by author Gene Strother, pen name L.A. Holly.

Before you is a Christmas story. A short story. A short Christmas story. It is all you need to know about three men you will never forget. Little Lou, Ugly Jack, and Prophet John are lonely people, each from a different and difficult place, whose lives are thrown together by circumstance, fate, or God Himself. They are rail-riders, rovers, vagabonds, and thieves. They are running toward as much as they are running from, and one of them is near the journey's end. This is a story about loss, loneliness, love...and hope.
