Summary

"Except for western history buffs, almost everyone has forgotten the Texas outlaw John Larn. Yet more than a century after his death in 1878, the mere mention of his name can trigger strong reactions along the Clear Fork of the Brazos River in northern Texas. In Bravo of the Brazos, Robert K. DeArment tells for the first time the complete story of this enigmatic and controversial figure."--BOOK JACKET.
