The Legend of Porter Rockwell: Bodyguard, Outlaw… or Saint?

Orin Porter Rockwell was many things: gunslinger, prophet’s bodyguard, folk hero, and frontier legend.

He swore he’d never cut his hair after a prophecy from Joseph Smith himself—saying no bullet would ever harm him as long as it stayed uncut. And for years, it didn’t. But what happened when he finally sheared it off... and gave it to a widow?

This is the story of loyalty, violence, and legend in the Wild West—and the man who blurred the lines between outlaw and saint.
