Leehrsen's book, as I recall, spends most of the length debunking myths by going back to primary sources. The short of it is that no evidence was found to support most of the common stories told about him. He did commit some assaults and had a bad temper as a young man, for which he is criticized fairly in the book, but these incidents are all very different from what was written in the 60's and then passed on down. He does not conclude Cobb was some flawless individual, just that most of what is said about him is contradictory to the evidence.
