Eagle Pass by Buck Standish (1983 LARGE PRINT Trade Softcover) Eagle Pass lay close to the Mexican border. Outlaws and renegades fleeing Texas law went there because they could be over the line into Mexico if other lawmen came after them. Eagle Pass was ruled by five former outlaws lead by sheriff Bart McManus. Texas rangers and all other lawmen had to be out of town before sundown. That's how the town was run and that's how it prospered - on outlaw money. Lauran Bosworth Paine (born Lawrence Kerfman Duby Jr. a.k.a. Buck Standish; 1916?2001) was an American writer of Western fiction. Paine wrote over 1,000 books, including hundreds of Westerns as well as romance, science fiction, and mystery novels. He also wrote a number of non-fiction books on the Old West, military history, witchcraft, and other subjects. Because his publishers only accepted a limited number of books under a single author's name, Paine adopted dozens of pseudonyms. This copy retired from a public library system.
