Later Life
Buck ended up living long enough to enjoy freedom again after his release from prison. He eventually died in 1915 of natural causes, unlike his brothers, all of whom all died violent deaths. The lawmen who protected the citizens of Middletown breathed more easily thereafter, because law and order were easier to maintain after the passing of Buck.

Famous quotes containing the word life:
“I found my brother’s body at the bottom there, where they had thrown it away on the rocks, by the river. Like an old, dirty rag nobody wants. He was dead. And I felt I had killed him. I turned back to give myself up.... Because if a man’s life can be lived so long and come out this way, like rubbish, then something was horrible, and had to be ended one way or another. And I decided to help.”
—Abraham Polonsky (b. 1910)
“Life on board a pleasure steamer violates every moral and physical condition of healthy life except fresh air.... It is a guzzling, lounging, gambling, dog’s life. The only alternative to excitement is irritability.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
