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.

Unbridled Cowboy is an absorbing personal account of a violent and lawless era.
