Clint Peoples’ Final Interview (Last of the Secret Files Oral History)
On August 15, 1989, four and one-half years after his original 1984 interviews with Gerald Saxton for the Dallas Public Library, Peoples sat down with Saxon again, as well as Cindy Smolovik, to review and update his earlier statements.

Clint Peoples began his law enforcement career as a deputy sheriff in Conroe, Texas in 1930. In 1941 he joined the Texas Department of Public Safety as a highway patrolman, moved to the Texas Rangers in 1946 and finally became a U.S. Marshal in 1974. After 59 years in law enforcement, he retired in 1989, and a lengthy article commemorating that occasion appeared in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on June 11th of that year (a copy of which has been reproduced on page 2).

Here’s what some have to say about the book:
