The Gun Wielding Philanthropist and the Adventuress Socialite: – The Charming and Eccentric Lives of Truxtun and Marie Beale, 1856

The Charming and Eccentric Lives of Truxtun and Marie Beale, 1856 – 1956

By William H. Cooke

Rancher, lawyer, diplomat, lobbyist, writer, world traveler, philanthropist and fighter are just some of the words that could be used to describe Truxtun Beale. He led an interesting and eccentric life that should be remembered. This page exists to promote my book, the only published biography of Truxtun and his second wife, Marie.
