Publisher's Synopsis
BEAN: Texas is a land of legends, but one character ranks up there with them all. Judge Roy Bean was more than the eccentric, self-proclaimed judge and homespun personality that the movies have portrayed him to be. From pistol duels on the boomtown streets of Southern California, to outlaw justice in the border country of Texas, he loved and brawled his way across the American frontier. His wit was as keen as the knife in his boot and as fast as the gun on his hip. This is his story.
