Lorin Morgan-Richards Presents Biographies of the West
The Bone Mizell Story
Directed by Lorin Morgan RichardsS6 • E1 Dec 14, 2024
Narrator Lorin Morgan-Richards shares the wild and colorful life of Morgan Bonaparte "Bone" Mizell, a legendary Florida cow hunter and folk hero of the late 19th century. Mizell's larger-than-life persona-from his towering height and booming laugh to his reputation as a hard-drinking prankster and expert cattleman. Known for his sharp memory of cattle brands and his unmatched skill with a bullwhip, Bone worked across Florida's open ranges during the state's early cattle boom. Richards uses colorized imagery, site visits, and historical accounts to highlight his outrageous antics.
