12 Years in the Saddle: For Law and Order on the Frontiers of Texas (ePub)

This eBook has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices.
"In offering this book to the public, I have not undertaken to present a history of my life. I do not consider my life of enough importance to warrant making a book about it. What I have undertaken to do is to tell some of the exciting experiences that have fallen to the lot of that noble band, the Texas Ranger force, of which I had the honor to be a member for twelve years."
