Florida Cow Hunter

“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

"Recounts a time when range wars, cattle drives, rustling, street brawls, and rum running were commonplace in Florida. Though the focus is on Mizell, Tinsley also gives an engaging history of Florida and the cattle industry."—Tampa Tribune
