Reseña del editor

An intimate introduction to this legendary lawman. A no-nonsense lawman on a crusade against the mobsters and murderers ruling the state line between Mississippi and Tennessee in the 1960s, Sheriff Buford Pusser was larger than life. The subject of four feature films and a television series, the McNairy County sheriff gained international notoriety as a fearless law enforcement officer who let nothing get in his way. Buford Pusser's daughter presents the life story of the legendary sheriff from her perspective.

Contraportada

"I have the utmost respect for Dwana and the entire Pusser family. The incredible legacy left behind by her father, Buford, will be forever remembered as one of great integrity, strength, and heart. It was an honor for me to have captured the spirit of Buford Pusser while filming Walking Tall, and it is certainly an honor to know the family and call them friends."
--Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, actor and former professional wrestler

Donning an alligator trouser belt and equipped with a .41-caliber magnum, Sheriff Pusser meant business. Serving as the sheriff of McNairy County, Tennessee, from 1964 to 1970, Buford Pusser made a name for himself as the fearless lawman who walked tall and carried a big stick. While publically he was a rough-and-tumble hero, privately Buford Pusser was an old-fashioned family man with a complex story, which, despite the efforts of previous biographers, has never accurately been told.
After watching her father's life story unfold in books and on film for more than three decades, Dwana Pusser has come forward with her own authoritative biography of the legendary American sheriff whose story has captivated so many fans. Filled with intimate details, loving and painful memories, and new documentation never before revealed about Buford Pusser's controversial death, Dwana Pusser's tribute to her father is an inspired story of success, perseverance, and strength.
