The State-Line Mob: A True Story of Murder and Intrigue (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781558538610)

The story that could not be written till now

I have been collecting this informatin for more than twenty years. I was personally acquainted with many of the outlaws who nested in the dives along the Tennessee-Mississippi border, and I crossed paths with them while I was doing research for Buford Pusser's authorized biography, The Twelfth of August. Pusser fought the state-line criminals during his entire six-year reign as sheriff of McNairy County, Tennessee.

During the state-line wars, Pusser created a larger-than-life image. But while walking tall, he often walked outside the law.

Members of the state-line mob were bold and colorful. They lived hard and fast. Most of them died the same way. ?W. R. Morris
