Florida Cow Hunter - The Life and Times of Bone Mizell

Jim Bob Tinsley, the number two inductee into the National
Cowboy Song and Poetry Hall of Fame, has written the first book on Bone Mizell,
a man who used his sense of humor to survive in the Florida cowman's world at
the turn of the century, a world of cattle wars, vigilante actions, hangings,
fence-cuttings, and Cowtown duels. "Bone Mizell was just a typical cowboy--the
way Paul Bunyan was a typical lumberjack."

About the author

Summary

"Recounts a time when range wars, cattle drives, rustling, street brawls, and rum running were commonplace in Florida. Though the focus is on Mizell, Tinsley also gives an engaging history of Florida and the cattle industry."--"Tampa Tribune"
