Complete Works of Brann, the Iconoclast, Volume 1, The by William Cowper Brann (1855 - 1898)https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/complete-works-of-brann-the-iconoclast-volume-1-the-by-william-cowper-brann-1855-1898--6438049
Described as a “slouch-hatted, gun-toting, beer-drinking, woman-worshiping man,” he assailed Baptists, Prohibition, blacks and universities as though engaged in a life-or-death gunfight; and actually he was killed in a gunfight at age 43. After he was shot in the back, drew his own gun and killed the man who had bushwacked him AND THEN walked directly to the jail before dying the next morning.
