5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible research, October 16, 2005
By 
This review is from: Bringing the Law to Texas: Crime and Violence in Nineteenth Century Texas (Hardcover)
A must read for anyone interested in the history of Texas. The research goes far beyond anything that I have encountered on the subject and the author carefully navigates between fact and the romanticized versions. He is not overly dismissive of lore (e.g. the "bigger than life" role of the Rangers), but tries to get to the heart of the matter. I wonder how many hours are in this book? It needs to be on the bookshelf of historians, authors, lawmakers, and officers of the Texas law.
