Photos Don't LieLee County Sheriff James S. Scarborough poses with his six-shooter; plagued with outlaws, Lee County citizens voted the shootist in for two terms at the close of the 19th century. Scarborough also served as sheriff of Kelberg County in South Texas from 1914-23. His pistol shooting stance, while seemingly unorthodox, makes us question how early it was that shooters gravitated to this two-handed grip.– All photos courtesy Turner Publishing/Historic Photos of Texas Lawmen by Mike Cox –
