WACO Series by J.T. Edson
This is a seven book series about the adventures of former Floating Outfit member Waco.
J.T. Edson brings to life the fierce and often bloody struggles of the untamed West. His colorful characters are linked together by the binding power of the spirit of adventure -- and hard work -- that eventually won the West. The series is set from the late 1870s to late 1890s.
Over time he learns law work from Dusty, brawling from Mark whom he grows to almost match in stature, and tracking from the Kid. He later becomes a lawman independently from the Floating Outfit, first as an Arizona Ranger, then as the sheriff of Two Forks County in Utah, and eventually (by the time of Hound Dog Man) a United States Marshal. He is nearly the equal of his illustrious teachers in each respect, as well as learning about crooked gambling from Frank Derringer. Originally using a pair of 1860 Army Colts, Waco adopts Artillery Peacemakers in The Peacemakers and, on a trip to Chicago (in Waco's Debt) Waco is introduced to the Winchester Model 1876 "Centennial" rifle, liking its superior range and hitting power. Waco rides a paint stallion, formerly part of Clay Allison's remuda, clearly as a tribute to Dusty's own paint and also named after Dusty. At the conclusion of The Drifter, Waco is about to marry rancher Beth Morrow.

| 1: WACO'S BADGE
In wide-open Arizona, outlaws run rampant, since the authority of the local marshal ends at his town's borders. A different breed of peace officer is needed, and rancher Bentram Mosehan has accepted the responsibility of organizing a new Arizona State Police force. He's looking for men who are brave, honest, and lightning fast with a six-gun -- talents that a drifter named Waco and his amigo, Doc Leroy, possess in abundance. But the two young Texans remember all too well their run-ins with the Lone Star law, and the last thing Waco and Doc want is to wear a badge. But Mosehan knows these are men you need at your side when all Hell breaks loose. And Waco'll be facing one tough choice once the bullets start flying in earnest: serve ... or die.

| 2: SAGEBRUSH SLEUTH
Arizona was wide open. The whole damn territory was easy-pickings for any two-bit cow-thief, back-shooting gunslick, or blood-simple outlaw. The law belongs to the fastest gun. And justice was in the hands of fools and cowards. So when cattle baron Bertram Mosehan formed the Rangers, he needed a special breed of men. Doc Leroy was one. And Waco was another. They fought with Ole Devil Hardin and now they were out to tame the territory...

| 3: ARIZONA RANGER
Waco and Doc Leroy had never seen such low-down goings-on. They knew the job was tough when they took it. The expected more than their share of gunplay and double helpings of killing. But now they're racing from one end of the territory to the other. Cardsharps, killers, thieves, and swindlers are keeping the pair busier than a one-armed bartender on a Saturday night.
