Introduction

Matthew Allen Allred was born on May 26th of 1971 to parents Vernon and Virginia. By January 1974, the Allred family were living in a small, close-knit community in Claremont City, Florida. Matthew's older brother Cindy would often take him over to the Pace household for a ride around the paddock,. It's believed that this is how Matthew developed a love of the Old West. Although the boots were ever so slightly too big for him, the young cowpoke was smitten with them.
