Ed Scarborough | The Skunk Fighting Arizona Ranger

Ed Scarborough cut his teeth chasing outlaws like Black Jack Ketchum when he was still a teenager. He’d go on to become a deputy sheriff, constable, Arizona Ranger, and according to those who knew him, Ed was born to a saddle, an excellent marksman, and did not know the meaning of the word fear. Make no mistake about it, Ed Scarborough took down many a sassy bandit over the course of his career. Be that as it may, the toughest opponents he’d ever face turned out to be himself and a rabid skunk. Toss in a little bit of cross-dressing, a shootout with a bicycle, some good ole fashioned homicide and a daring prison escape, and we’ve got what may be the most absurd tale I’ve ever had the pleasure to share. Trust me; you’re not going to want to skip this one.   Check out the website for more true tales from the Old West https://www.wildwestextra.com/   Email me! https://www.wildwestextra.com/contact/   David Lambert on Ed Scarborough - https://twitter.com/DavidLambertArt/status/1431153148618440704   David Lambert’s drawing of Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia - https://twitter.com/DavidLambertArt/status/1698242129171304810   David Lambert’s artwork - https://www.patreon.com/davidlambertart/posts   David Lambert Wrong Reel Podcast | Jesse James - https://wrongreel.com/podcast/wr470-jesse-james-american-outlaw/   David Lambert Wrong Reel Podcast |Wyatt Earp - https://wrongreel.com/podcast/wr450-wyatt-earp-and-the-gunfight-at-the-o-k-corral/   Bringing a Bike to a Gunfight by Mark Boardman | True West Magazine - https://truewestmagazine.com/bringing-a-bike-to-a-gunfight/   Texas History Lessons - https://open.spotify.com/show/6o5AIqdtjbzY9VctfRArOT   Buy me a coffee! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/wildwest   Free Newsletter! https://wildwestjosh.substack.com/   Join Into History for ad-free and bonus content! https://intohistory.supercast.com/   Merchandise! https://www.teepublic.com/user/wild-west-extravaganza   Book Recommendations! https://www.amazon.com/shop/wildwestextravaganza/list/YEHGNY7KFAU7?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d Learn more about your ad choices.
