Clune had written about Hayes in an episode of his 1938 radio series Scallywags of the Pacific.[4] He also wrote about him in his 1938 book Free and Easy Land.[5]
Clune worked on the book in 1969. "The trouble is to separate fact and fiction," he said.[6]
Pacific Island Monthly said "It’s a very readable and useful compilation, and it does put the story of Hayes into clearer and truer focus than anything hitherto published... As put together by Clune, from a mass of often contradictory material, this history of Bully Hayes is readable, lively and colourful."[7]
The Sydney Morning Herald called it "lively reading, full of action."[8]
