Confession: The True Story of Pancho & Lefty

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.
