“The only volume I have seen that contains such a complete collection of anecdotes involving the celebrated Bone Mizell. Anyone interested in frontier history, scholars or otherwise, should find [it] interesting and informative.”—Joe A. Akerman, author of The Florida Cowman 

 “The single greatest source of information on Bone Mizell....Tinsley has skillfully brought together a detailed and accurate description of the Mizell’s life and times and the early cattle industry in South Florida [which] helps the reader understand what conditions and environment contributed to the transformation of a plain cowhunter into the ‘Will Rogers of South Florida.’”­—George Lane Jr., former publisher, The Arcadian
