Four Against the West: Unmasking the Bean Brothers with Joe Pappalardo

  • Résumé

  • Author Joe Pappalardo joins us to discuss his new book, "Four Against the West," which unravels the myth of Roy Bean—the so-called "Law West of the Pecos"—and dives into the untold stories of his brothers, Sam, James, and Joshua. While Roy is often remembered as a frontier judge, Pappalardo reveals a more complex truth: Roy was more showman than lawman, and his brothers left equally significant marks on the Wild West.

    In this episode, we explore how Pappalardo blends meticulous research with cinematic storytelling, capturing the grit, chaos, and contradictions of the Old West. Hear about his discoveries in archives, his adventures retracing the Beans' steps, and how his work sheds light on the era's real history—where civilization and lawlessness collided.

    Tune in for a fascinating conversation that tears down old myths to reveal the true stories of the men who lived, fought, and survived on the frontier.
