When Bob Fussell edited his grandfather’s memoirs, he wondered if the stories were true. Consulting his cousin for suggestions, the response was concise: “Reduce Mexican body count.” Joe’s story begins in Texas, during the late 1880s. Riding the rails as a hobo, working livery stables, wrangling cattle, serving as a Texas Ranger, Joe was an independent hell-raiser, good to his word, yet dangerous to those who trespassed him. Unbridled Cowboy is an absorbing personal account of a violent and lawless era.
