4.0 out of 5 stars
One Riot, One Ranger?,
By Fred Rhodes (Houston) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Law Comes to Texas: The Texas Rangers 1870-1901 (Hardcover)
This book tells the story of the post-Civil War and Reconstruction era Texas Rangers. Among the chapters are: McNelly's Boys, Sam Bass and Other Bad Men, The Vanishing Frontier, Fence Cutters and Troubleshooters and Ranger Camp Life. This is a well-researched book which offers a lot of new information on, and insight into, the Texas Rangers. Wilkins is the author of the critically acclaimed "The Legend Begins: The Texas Rangers, 1823-1845".
