"Fearless Dave Allison" by Bob Alexander
Dave Allison became the youngest sheriff in the State of Texas in 1888 and was still wearing a badge when he was gunned down in 1923.
Between those times, he was six times an elected sheriff; a member of the Texas Rangers and Arizona Rangers; Chief of Police at Roswell, New Mexico; personal bodyguard of Colonel William Cornell Green; and Livestock Inspector. Devoid of bravado, yet fearless and deadly when provoked.
Allison was described by George S. Patton as, “The most noted gunman here in Texas.”
Bob Alexander is one of the most renowned historians of the Old West.
