5.0 out of 5 stars
An emphatic, gripping historical fiction novel,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Call to Glory: The Life and Times of a Texas Ranger (Hardcover)
Call To Glory: The Life And Times Of A Texas Ranger collaborative written by Michael and Marilyn Gilhuly is an emphatic, gripping historical fiction novel of bravery, heroism, sacrifice, and a proud way of life. Three brothers must fight, first in the civil war and later putting on the silver badge of a Ranger to protect the innocent against the perils of the frontier. Call To Glory is an exciting Texas western from first page to last!

There are no punches pulled.,
This review is from: Call to Glory: The Life and Times of a Texas Ranger (Hardcover)
Reading "Call To Glory" must be done slowly and deliberately to feel the full impact of the story. I read the story slowly so that I could absorb and truly feel the emotions felt by the main characters in the story. There are no punches pulled. It is very graphic in the description of the cruelness in fighting a war or Indians, and how men are reduced to the level of animal cunning in an effort to survive. The sadness and loneliness felt by the women left behind compounded the problems for the men who left for war or Ranger duty. The women were struggling to operate a farm and care for a family while the men struggled to survive the daily challenges with the constant worry of the welfare of the family back home. The authors brought out the qualities and strong fibers of the main characters which helped them endure the calamities of life and setting a gauge for others to follow. "Call To Glory" should be made into a movie as it ranks in quality with "Gone With The Wind" and "Lonesome Dove." Ramiro "Ray" Martinez
