A look through time into a window of Texas history,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Savage Frontier, Vol. 1, 1835-1837: Rangers Riflemen & Indian Wars in Texas (Paperback)
Carefully researched and accessibly written by Stephen L. Moore (himself a sixth generation Texan whose genealogical roots go back to the very beginnings of the Texas Republic), Savage Frontier: Rangers, Riflemen, And Indian Wars In Texas: Volume 1, 1835-1837 is an exhaustively documented and absolutely fascinating study of the Texas Rangers prior to the Mexican war. A thorough and documented history of the Texas Rangers, the men who led them, and the battles they fought in a time when pioneer families were struggling just to survive, make a living for themselves and their families, and guard themselves against ever-present threats that ranged from hostile Native Americans to the Mexican government. A solid and fascinating look through time into a window of Texas history, Savage Frontier is enhanced with illustrations, maps, battle casualty lists, and extensive first-person narratives.

Joel W. Robison - Texas Ranger,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Savage Frontier, Vol. 1, 1835-1837: Rangers Riflemen & Indian Wars in Texas (Paperback)
Joel w Robison was my GGGrandfather. We had a lot of family history about him but nothing about his having been a Texas Ranger in the 1830s. In researching him I found such a reference - only a fleeting comment. I checked with Texas Ramgers archive and historical section and they confirmed it and referred me to this book Savage Frontier, Vol 1. It has several entries about Joel Walter Robison, and his father, both figures in early Texas history, some of which were also in family tradition.
