A memoir compiled from a series of oral history interviews that took place from 1993 to 2005, and a couple of relevant news articles. "Pitch 'til You Win" seems apt for the roller coaster ride of success and calamity that was Fred's life. From a one-room schoolhouse to working cowboy to rodeo champion to an Alabama jailhouse; from buck private to Lieutenant Colonel with the 10th Mountain Division in WWII. After all he had seen and done, one of his biggest adventures started in his late fifties--Arizona River Runners.
