Without a doubt, the life of William H. Jollett would play well on the silver screen. Several years ago I wrote a 4-part series about this Confederate soldier and horse thief who went on to commit some unspeakable crime which led him to create a new identity as William Preston Boyd.

Please enjoy reading the Man on the Run series about William
Jollett, the nephew of my 2X great-grandfather.
Amy Johnson Crow continues to challenge genealogy bloggers and non-bloggers alike to think about our ancestors and share a story or photo about them. The challenge is “52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks.”

My goodness! I went back and read your 4 blogs about him. Fascinating man he was and you are right; it would play out as a good movie. I think it should be shot from the present to the past. People looking into genealogy and then finding his story and then it playing out in the past. Very interesting! Wonder who should portray him on the big screen?

How about Woody Harrelson?
