FROM WIKIPEDIA: Henry Tufts (1748–1831) was an American criminal, who committed various robberies and other crimes in northern New England in the 18th century. Most of what is known about his life and crimes comes from his 1807 autobiography A Narrative of the Life, Adventures, Travels and Sufferings of Henry Tufts, Now Residing at Lemington, in the District of Maine. In Substance as Compiled from his own Mouth. The autobiography was reprinted in 1930 as Autobiography of a Criminal. Neal Keating's 1993 reprint of Tufts' autobiography summarizes Tufts as a "horse thief, bigamist, burglar, adulterer, con man, scoundrel, counterfeiter, (military) deserter and common criminal", while also casting doubt on the veracity of his account.
