The Texas Rangers

Autorentext
By Walter Prescott Webb

Klappentext
'The Texas Rangers' depicts men whose influence was worked not by recklessness or foolhardiness, but by the steadiness of their purpose and performance. Also contributing was their sureness, among both the law-abiding and the law-breaking, that thought of self would never deter the Rangers from fulfilling the commitment of their vows as agents of law, order, and justice.

Zusammenfassung
This classic history of the Texas Rangers has been popular ever since its first publication in 1935.
