The Notorious Texas Pistoleers – Ben Thompson & King Fisher

(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. The Notorious Texas Pistoleers tells their story in vivid detail and relates the true account of their deaths in a mystery shrouded ambush in a San Antonio saloon on a chilly March night in 1884

“They called King Fisher and Ben Thompson bad men, but they wasn't bad men; they just wouldn't stand for no foolishness, and they never killed anyone unless they bothered them.“

     Tom Sullivan, deputy sheriff in Medina County, Texas
