Colonel Askins is an adventurer. Whether it be fighting his way out of an ambush, hunting tiger in Asia or sniping along the Rhine, Askins has done it with gusto. Here he recounts his early days as a forest ranger, his decade of slinging lead on the Mexican border, his astounding success as a competitive pistol shot, his combat participation in World War II, his adventures as a paratrooper in Vietnam and his career as one of the world's leading big-game hunters.

The early Texans were a breed apart. Outlaws and lawmen, ranchers and cowpokes, merchants and preachers, housewives and harlots - all were hard-working, independent, tough people of the frontier. In The Gunfighters, legendary U.S. Border Patrol agent, pistol shooter and big-game hunter Colonel Charles Askins brings hundreds of the colorful characters of early Texas vividly to life--McNelly's Rangers; "The Merry Outlaw" Sam Bass; Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker and the Texas Ranger who caught them, Captain Frank Hamer; the first Border Patrolmen; Comanche and Apache Indians; and many others.
