The State-Line Mob

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
