For years I searched for information on my family's history and was met with so many tales from folks who "knew" so much, only to reveal they knew nothing. And then, of course there were so many secrets kept... I read everything I could get my hands on about the State Line Mob, Jack & Louise, Buford and everyone else connected to events during and leading up to the day I became an orphan. I will tell you all, this book is by far the best. It has actual documentation to back up stories we've all heard and some we haven't. Robert worked very hard and it's evident that this became a labor of love for him. I'm beyond grateful for him and this book. Get yours now and read it ... you won't be disappointed!! With that said there are those out there trying to prevent this book to have a good review because they hated Buford Pusser- whom has a short part in the book. Karen Jones

My family is from this area and I knew about Buford Pusser before the books, movie, etc. I was too young to remember the stateline restaurants, bars and motels or the fact that there were numerous murders in the area. But I do remember my family feeling safer when Sheriff Pusser was elected. It is sad how much blood was shed for greed, revenge and jealousy. Although the book, written by Robert Broughton, took some author's license in adding conversations and filling in spots, it was extremely interesting, well documented and factual. I feel sad that all the many children involved were not given the opportunity to grow up with any normal life and are still suffering years later.

A great read!!!

I have read every book written by W.R. Morris regarding Sheriff Buford Pusser and the State Line Mob, and enjoyed them very much. However, in my opinion, Ghost Tales of The State Line Mob is the absolute best book written to date regarding Sheriff Buford Pusser and the State Line Mob. This book is filled with period newspaper clippings, crime scene photos, maps, autopsy reports, jail records, court records, etc. The author did his research and presents it well.

I was also very impressed with the author's representation of Sheriff Pusser. He provided a very fair and balanced look at the man. My take away was that Buford was not the flawless hero of the Walking Tall movie, but he was a brave young man that loved his family, and his County very much and did the best he could to make McNairy County a better place to live. Of course, he was not perfect, but the evidence in this book convinced me that he was definitely not the villain that some other's have recently tried to make him out to be. Do yourself a favor and get this excellent book. I could not hardly put it down, and I just finished reading it for the second time!

Good read

After seeing the film walking tall, I wanted to know how close and accurate the story is. As a retired Cop is was very interesting things got done back in the day. Much of which would not work today. Perhaps we need some COPS like Burford Pusser to clean drug dealers and gang bangers of today.

Poorly executed. No pun intended. Spelling? No organized thought. It gave the impression the author had its own issues concentrating.

I enjoyed the pictures and reading the guest's book. Same old he said-she said. Everybody thinks they have the facts.

Well documented

The pitiful, incorrect, poor, grammar in this book is TERRIBLE. What is the author trying to say ?
Is this supposed to be “ red neck” Mississippi grammar? MS after his name must mean MISS SPELLED.

I love this story. Please more. I had the privilege of meeting this writer in his early discovery. He was truly charming

No. Just no. I don't know why anyone would consider this poorly put together piece of conjecture a book.
