Product Description

19th century Rangers protected their neighbours from Indian attack, fought and died in a war for freedom, and staved off foreign invasion. Their later adversaries included hardened criminals such as John Wesley Hardin and Bonnie and Clyde. Today the Rangers are a modern organisation and represent the elite of Texas law enforcement.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Texas Rangers Elite Series 36, November 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Texas Rangers (Elite) (Paperback)

I think that The Texas Rangers Elite Series is a very informative, yet entertaining book. The book talks about The Texas Rangers from thier begining up to present day, going into deph about the more famous Rangers like, Jack Hays, and RIP Ford. I would say that this book is well worth investing in, especaially for people to whom the Texas Rangers is a new interrest, its a good starting block.
