[edit] Character and novels
Bowdrie is known as a hardened Texas Ranger, with a reputation as being good with a gun, and who is both feared and respected by outlaws and lawmen alike. He is described by L'Amour as a man who could have easily ridden as an outlaw or gunfighter, but was instead recruited by the Rangers, who preferred having him on their side rather than against them. He is smart, and an expert at tracking. The novels in which L'Amour uses Bowdrie as his central character include McNelly Knows a Ranger, A Job for a Ranger, Bowdrie Rides a Coyote Trail, A Trail to the West, Outlaws of Poplar Creek, South of Deadwood, and Bowdrie Follows a Cold Trail.
