Summary: One Riot, One Ranger?
Review: This book tells the story of the post-Civil War and Reconstruction era Texas Rangers. Among the chapters are: McNelly's Boys, Sam Bass and Other Bad Men, The Vanishing Frontier, Fence Cutters and Troubleshooters and Ranger Camp Life. This is a well-researched book which offers a lot of new information on, and insight into, the Texas Rangers. Wilkins is the author of the critically acclaimed "The Legend Begins: The Texas Rangers, 1823-1845".
