Portrait of a prize fighter and a fortune. This is one of the most incredible stories we've ever told incredible because it involves more money than any of us will ever see. Yet even though the story does involve more money than any of us will ever see.

Every word of this story is true. But let's begin in the beginning. When a boy named Henry Comstock was born in Canada, a more or equal walk, young Henry Comstock wanted adventure. While he was still a young man, he got it.

More adventure than most people can get in a lifetime. First Henry Comstock bought in a black hawk, then a Patriots war, finally the Mexican war. But Henry Comstock still craved adventure. He wanted a fight!

That's why in order to keep on fighting, even though there were no more wars, he became a bear knuckle boxer. For Henry lived in the days before boxing gloves. Henry Comstock was a vicious fighter.
