"A pugnacious cocksure hell-raiser who loved to gamble and play dirty. He cursed, argued, fought and antagonized, all with a sneering glee." Thought he was talking about Marshall there for a sec. (Just horsing around, RM; we're still cool).
Thanks, Scott, for the link and a great read of those rough-and-tumble days. I just started reading Charles Alexander's bio of McGraw but haven't gotten to the part where he was taking on all comers. He looked less like a scrapper and more like a choir boy in his younger days. Looks can be deceiving.
