Barney Oldfield Autobiography - Saturday Evening Post

A series of articles that ran in the Saturday Evening Post in 1925. They are an autobiographical overview Oldfield wrote with the assistance of William Strum. I judge some of this material to be inaccurate, not because Oldfield embellished, but because I think he simply forgot things. I have only come to this conclusion by cross referencing facts by reading a variety of sources through the years. The main point is that while this material is interesting and useful, it is not definitive.


This is a two-part series of articles that ran in the Saturday Evening Post in 1925. They are an autobiographical overview Oldfield wrote with the assistance of William Sturm. I judge some of this material to be inaccurate, not because Oldfield embellished (not that I put it past him), but because I think he simply forgot things.
