I find drunks boring, but not in this case. Tinnis Lucas is quite the character.

THE CAPTAIN AND HIS SON
Three men, one a Arizona Ranger, the other two are father and son bounty hunters, the father Captain Thorn retired U.S. Marine, his son Dee Sandoval also a Marine on leave aiding his father as a bounty hunter. Tinnis Mayes aka Tinnis Lucas an ex-Marine who was mistreated by the U.S. Government. Abraham Lincoln, President of U.S. was assassinated the next day and Tinnis Mayes was NEVER pardoned for the work he did during the "War Of Secession" by the Southern Confederate States whose was President Andrew Jackson...a messy conflicting time for the Northern and Southern States. Because Tinnis not receiving a pardon he was an "outcast blockade runner" who did a lot of undercover work for the Lincoln administration lost everything...so he became a full blown alcoholic suffering delirious tremens..so his life was truly in a bottle of rock gut..very sad.
Ranger Burrack was on the hunt for the Black Valley Riders accompanied by the bounty hunters, Captain Thorn and De Sandoval whose Captain Thorn's son whom he didn't know about until he returned to Havana, Cuba and was told about his son, whom tracked to a port in Florida.
The Captain had his son join the Marines and thus he also was able to become a citizen of the United States, which he quoted "The Beautiful United States," can't go wrong with that type of mind set...
This is a action bound adventure as many of Ranger Burrack assignments that he is sent on. He meets a lot of different types of people while tracking outlaws, murderers, rapist, pedophiles just an assortment of humans, who quite frankly are scary. But that doesn't stop the Rangers and his horse Black Pot, whom he deeply cares about and Black Pot who knows the Ranger's ways of working. Everyone ENJOY yourselves with a nice
cup of iced coffee and ready yourselves for an interesting, entertaining western adventure.🌵
