State Line Mob : A True Story of Murder and Intrigue by W. R. Morris (2001, Trade Paperback)

Only a partial telling of the true story.

W.R. Morris takes certain liberties with the real story as Buford Pusser was a corrupt sheriff.. Morris fails to point out that contrary to what his books and the Walking Tall movie franchise showed, that Buford took payoff form many of the thirty some joints in McNairy County, including from the Shamrock and the White Iris, Read full review

Interesting details about the past

W.R. Morris wrote the authorized biography of Buford Pussers life when Pusser was alive. Since then there was some sort fo riff between them. This book was published years after Buford died and W.R. Morris told some of the same Buford stories totally different with completely different angles which I thought was unethical and dishonest. He seems to have been heavily influenced by his associations with these scandalous mobsters and it shows im the glamorous way im which he regales us with their stories. Lot od embellishment and the chapters do not flow or overlap. It reads more life a article by article release of stories. If you are a die hard fan of this story and Pusser its worth a read. Otherwise move onRead full review

Quick read and an interesting perspective.

Very intriguing book about the characters of the State Line mob. Not sure how factual these stories actually are but they are believable and interesting.The editing could've been better.

How life was on the state line and what Sheriff Pusser had to deal with. I visited the state line during the Buford Pusser Festival and found it very interesting.
