Whiskey River Ranger - The Old West Life of Baz Outlaw

In Whiskey River Ranger, Bob Alexander tells for the first time the full story of troubled Texas Ranger Baz Outlaw and his losing battle with alcoholism. In his career Baz Outlaw wore a badge as a Texas Ranger and also as a Deputy US Marshal. He could be a fearless and crackerjack lawman, as well as an unmanageable manic. Although Baz Outlaw's badge-wearing career was sometimes heroically creditable, at other times his self-induced nightmarish imbroglios teased and tested Texas Ranger management's resoluteness.
