**John King Fisher - King of the Nueces Strip (Second Edition)    **

 Known as two of the best pistol fighters of their day, Ben Thompson and John King Fisher have remained an enigma in the chronicles of the Western Frontier. 

    While other gun fighters have achieved notoriety through the stories told in the pulp magazines and newspapers of the day these two men have been largely ignored. 

     Both were credited with killing a string of men during their lifetime and the mere mention of their names was usually enough to sober up a drunken opponent or cause a sober man to contemplate his own epitaph. 

These men were not cold-blooded murders but rather stand-up gun fighters that faced their adversaries in the winner-take-all shootout. 

“Ben Thompson had during his career more deadly encounters with the pistol than any man living and won out in every single instance.”

                                                                                                            Bat Masterson

"Fisher killed clean with either hand; he was one of the genuine two-pistol shooters.”

                                                                                     George Durham, Texas Ranger

      ***John King Fisher - King of The Nueces Strip ***tells their story in vivid detail and relates the true account of their deaths in a mystery clouded ambush in a San Antonio saloon on a chilly March night in 1884.
