Benediction
2021
DAISY Sound Recording
In 1907, fifteen-year-old Ernest Dufault left Quebec for Montana, where he passed himself off as an American cowboy named Will James. Over the next few decades, Ernest would be a cattle thief, a soldier, a Hollywood stuntman, and a bestselling and award-winning writer of westerns. Ernest was so successful an imposter that he was later inducted into the Hall of Great Westerners. His own wife would only learn his true identity after his death at fifty, when he bequeathed his entire estate to a man she has never heard of, Ernest Dufault. In "Benediction", Ernest's relative Olivier Dufault uncovers the true story of his two years in a Nevada prison for stealing cattle. Using real documents, including letters, telegrams, and court documents, mixed with his inimitable novelistic style, Olivier reconstructs an incredible life where truth and lies were almost indistinguishable. 2019
