Reviews

an exhaustive account --Booklist; the first of its kind, this book documents Texas Ranger units since the service's 1823 inception...the most comprehensive book to date...a wonderful, one-step reference for historians --Library Journal; a good, one volume, overall, modern history of the Rangers in their changing roles from 1823 to today...easy to read --Journal of the West.
