In his monumental work Zgodovinski drobci župnije Tržič (Highlights from the History of Tržič), Viktor Kragl briefly described the life of the priest Franc Čarman. Drawing on archival materials and newspaper reports, this contribution provides a more extensive account of his interesting life story. It also corrects Kragl’s account and supplements them by presenting the hitherto poorly known activities of the agile »Mr Žnidar«.
