Rex Albert Tanner lived his unique and colorful life as a folk hero, incognito through a fascinating period of American history; early Twentieth Century. The times moved fast, and change was essential and uncompromising. His story is of one man who started from meager beginnings, survived everything and anything life could throw at him and retained his good humor and self-confidence until his last dying breath. Beginning prior to World War I in Oklahoma's Indian territory, proceeding through the "Roaring 20's," the Great Depression's gangster era, World War II and the development of California as one of the nation's most powerful economies. America has been a beacon of hope and a land of opportunity since its inception. During the twentieth century, America became a great country and the Americans born during the early part of that century proved to be what some now call "America's greatest generation." Even from early childhood Rex was able to draw from his natural ingenuity to sidestep danger as he adroitly and fearlessly turned negative situations into positive solutions, learning and growing from his experiences. An inspiration and example of the American heart, Rex Tanner's life now comes alive on these pages for all to consider. Accompanied by authentic photographs of the characters within and original watercolor paintings of many highlighted scenes, places the reader squarely in the middle of the Oklahoma Gamblin' Man's life and leaves you with a sense of having known someone purely original.
