The service was good, and the book arrived in excellent shape, as promised. The book was loaded with detail, but lacked those things that made it readable, as in story. Cold Hard Facts.

2.0 out of 5 stars not what I expected, March 26, 2010

This review is from: Fugitives from Justice: The Notebook of Texas Ranger Sergeant James B. Gillett (Paperback)

I thought this was going to be similar to several other "Ranger" books,(like RIP Ford, Jack Hayes) eye witness accounts of Texas history. It is not. It is mostly a list of wanted fugitives with descriptions, with a few hand written notes.

Perhaps someone could find juicy footnotes for their family tree.I had some family members of this era, who were reportedly hung for cattle & or horse theft, but found none mentioned.
