>From *Warlock* by Oakley Hall
PREFATORY NOTE
This book is a novel. The town of Warlock and the territory in which it is
located are fabrications. But any relation of the characters to real
persons, living or dead, is not always coincidental, for many are
composities of figures who live still on a frontier between history and
legend.
The fabric of the story, too, is made up of actual events interwoven with
invented ones; by combining what did happen with what might have happened, I
have tried to show what should have happened. Devotees of Western legend may
consequently complain that I have used familiar elements to construct a
fanciful design, and that I have rearranged or ignored the accepted facts.
So I will reiterate that this work is a novel. The pusuit of truth, not of
facts, is the business of fiction.
