Bob Alexander
History Alexander is one of the most renowned historians of the Old West. With years of researching and writing, his many books tell the stories of the Texas Rangers and other characters who lived in the Southwest during the late 1800s and early 1900s. TEXAS RANGERS: LIVES, LEGEND, AND LEGACY is his latest book, co-written with Donaly Brice. Bob Alexander began his law-enforcement career as a police detective and later moved on to the US Treasury Department for the next 25 years as a treasury agent, serving around the country. After he retired, he began reading and then writing books about the Old West. If you get him started spinning tales in his colorful, campfire-storyteller style, the real trick will be getting him stopped. |
