Summary: Lone Wolf Scores Big
Review: Author and historian Brownson Malsch captures with his customary skill the greatness of modern-day Texas Ranger Captain M.T."Lone Wolf" Gonzaullas in this small but powerful biography. From the Lone Wolf's baptism of fire along the Rio Grande in the 1920's to the oil boom days in east Texas, Malsch recounts the engaging story of one of the most renowned and most colorful men to have ever worn the star of the Texas Rangers. In a career that spanned some four decades, the Lone Wolf became one of the most charismatic characters to have served as a Ranger, and one of the most feared lawmen among the criminal element of the Lone Star State. With a forward by Mary Nell Garrison, the wife of Colonel Homer Garrison, the longtime director of the Texas Department of Publich Safety, and an accomplished historian in her own right, this book offers up a fascinating account of the exploits of "Cap" Gonzaullas. The book is well indexed and could easily serve as a source of research data for those interested in the history of the Texas Rangers. Lone Wolf Gonzaullas was, without question, a unique individual who served during a time of transition for the Rangers. This book offers up an interesting perspective on this exceptional man whose work spanned this time of change.
