Grogan's penchant for personal myth making and distrust of the mainstream media resulted in few details of his life being reliably recorded. His 1972 autobiography, ''Ringolevio (A life played for keeps)'', is filled with embellishments and large portions of his pre-Digger life appear to be outright fabrications. This flexibility with the truth was part of Grogan's larger social and political agenda and was meant to further Digger ideals. Grogan was also the author of ''Final Score'', a fictional crime novel. CRITICISM OF COUNTERCULTURE Grogan shunned media attention, and became increasing suspicious of those who sought after it. In ''Ringolevio'' Grogan discusses the 1967 Human Be-In , taking shots at counterculture luminaries Timothy Leary , Jerry Rubin , and especially Abbie Hoffman . REFERENCES
