Rex Cauble, a well-known Denton, Texas, multimillionaire, oilman, rancher, banker, and civic leader, forfeited 90 million dollars in attachable assets-ranches, banks, Cutterbill Western Wear stores in Dallas and Houston-under the RICO Act in a highly controversial jury verdict out of Tyler, Texas.

Muscles Foster, trainer of six- time AQHA, NQHA world champion cutting horse, "Cutterbill," and foreman of Caubles' 4,000-acre ranches alongside cowboy (CAPOS) Les Fuller (The First Marlboro Man), Larry Dale Washington, Dayton Bud Evans, Harry "The Hat" Hannon, Ray Hawkins, and others had utilized Caubles' ranches for coast-to-coast distribution of Columbian Red Bud marijuana, unbeknownst to Cauble, enabled the largest attachment of assets in U.S. history. The "Cowboy Mafia" smuggled more than 750,000 pounds of Columbian Red Bud marijuana from Bogota and Santa Marta, Columbia, into the Texas Gulf Coast town of High Island, Texas, and subsequently distributed coast to coast via the vast ranches of an unsuspecting father figure, Rex Cauble. Each journey spanned 18 days at sea and more than 7,500 miles on 80-foot shrimp boats with an average speed of 10-15 knots and average seas of 10-15 feet.

    Don't Waste Your Time or Money

    Cowboy Mafia is the worst written of any book I've ever read. The author, if you want to call him one, just rambles and repeats himself. I could hardly wait to put the book down. After the tediuos read it was obvious I had been duped. It sounds like it would make a great book if someone that knew the real story would only write it.

    Is there an editor in the house???

    I am trying to get through this very interesting story, but the author is not making it easy. This could have been an excellent read if Graham had been responsible to the art of book writing and hired an editor to help make the book readable. Come on Graham, if you're going to write something you want people to read then don't make it so painful to get through. I mean it is AGONIZING to plow through page after page of spelling errors, punctuation mistakes, missuse of grammar, confusing plots and dialogs that go nowhere because you can't follow his train of thought. I'd like to know why Graham did this. It's like he wants to tell his story but no one can understand what language he's using. I could go on forever about this because it is amazing that anyone would publish a book that is so lacking in skill and literacy.

    Poor Writing - Great True Story

    Knowing the legend of Cutter Bill, Rex Cauble, and the others - I found the story interesting. What I didn't enjoy was the poor writing - from spelling errors to inconsistencies in format. Often, I would just put the book down due to these blunders. If you can get past the writing, the story is great.

    Movie stuff here!

    Tremendous true story.Ken Lay,Andrew Fastow, Skilling,Bernie Ebbers,Scott Sullivan..these are the cats that should be subjected to (RICO).Rex Cauble was an innocent man who happened to have vast attachable assets.Cauble certainly didn't step on so many loyal employees as these so-called corporate execs did.Well written and entertaining start to finish.

    Amateurish, bland true crime book

    Graham's inside look at the drug empire he was a part of (though he maintains his innocence) is, at best, a lesson in the bad things that can happen when a mediocre writer with even worse storytelling skills discovers that he can self-publish a book without the benefit of an editor. There are so many inconsistencies in spelling and grammar that it seems he pecked this book out one boring Saturday afternoon, popped it into an envelope, and Fedexed it to the local vanity press without ever once reading over it or having someone proofread it for him. As for the story, he paints the Texas millionaire Rex Cauble as an innocent bystander, unaware of the under-the-table type things going on around him, when it's obvious to anyone familiar with the true story (or, for that matter, anyone who's smart enough to read beyond the printed word of Graham's effort and see what was really going on) that Cauble was not complacent while his property was used to run drugs. Graham's book--a rose-colored look at big Texas crime--is a poor effort in both the technical and the creative aspects of writing. Do not waste your time or money on this drivel.
