James P. Lawrence, better known as Jimmy the Cowboy, was a famous figure of the Wild West. Jimmy was known for ropin' cattle, punchin' beeves, and herding steer. In addition, he was a gunfighter, a sheriff, an outlaw, an Indian, a Mexican, a schoolmarm, and a comedy relief drunk. In addition, he farmed potatoes and played the flute, thus qualifying as both "rootin'" and "tootin'". Rumours that he has lived west of the Pecos remain unconfirmed.
