American West
"Sketch after sketch (132 sketches in 844 pages) of men who lived and died on the frontier of Texas. Entertainingly written with the liberal use of humorous anecdotes."

Book Description
Originally published in 1900 as Early Settlers and Indian Fighters of Southwest Texas, this volume has been praised by reviewers for more than a century. J. Frank Dobie said it is "meaty with the character of ready-to-fight but peace-seeking Texas pioneers."
Joe B. Frantz, renowned Texas historian, wrote: "Sowell has a feature writer's eye for a good story and his sensitivity for change of pace and mood."
The author was a native of Texas, a Texas Ranger who used a pen as well as he used his gun. His readable volume describes Indian fights and the activities of famous Texas Rangers in detail. Included in these accounts are first-hand recollections of Texas Rangers Bigfoot Wallace and Benjamin F. Highsmith and Mrs. Hannah Berry's description of her encounters with Davy Crockett and Josiah Wilbarger.
The reprint edition is a replica of the original 1900 volume, complete with a new index added when State House Press published the book as Texas Indian Fighters in 1986.
