Summary:
The folklore of the Big Bend region was still in the making during Walter Fulcher's lifetime. Born in Lampasas County in 1887, he worked as a young man on the Martin Ranch near Sheffield. There he witnessed the last outlaw activities of the notorious Black Jack Ketchum gang. And he heard ranch-hands from both sides of the border tell their tales of the exciting country around the Big Bend of the Rio Grande.
