He is best known for his work across the frontier as a drover, Wagonmaster, soldier, spy, scout, lawman, gunfighter, gambler, and showman.

    2. My opinion doesn’t really change. Ghost soldiers pretty much tells the story of how O’Brien wanted revenge on Jorgenson due to Jorgenson being to scared to treat or even help O’Brien out in any way. Although I don’t agree with what he did, i do feel as if he had to have some way to release those emotions that he had kept inside after being taken out of the group. There are certainly worse things that he could have done to Jorgenson though.…

He was born into a progressive family, making him identify with the poor because he had rejected social and religious traditions. Like many writers, Crane was a contradiction because for someone who had big interest in war and violence he was a gentle man. No matter how good of writer Crane was he did not excel academically; however, he did excel in his literary career in journalism.
