Product Description:
"The beginning, middle, and end of the subject."
—J. Frank Dobie
Webb's classic history of the Texas Rangers has been popular ever since its first publication in 1935. This edition is a reproduction of the original Houghton Mifflin edition.

Rating:  -
Dr. Webb's account about the Texas Ranger, should spark an interest to the reader's love for Texas History. His account of people's down to earth lives is so remarkable that even President Lyndon B Johnson foward the work. Money well spent. I will add it to the western section of my personal library.

This classic was first published in 1935. The consummate western historian Walter Prescott Webb, assimilated a history of the first century (actually from 1823 - 1935) of the Texas Rangers in his book, THE TEXAS RANGERS: A CENTURY OF FRONTIER DEFENSE. This 1965 reprinting contains a foreword by Lyndon B. Johnson.
Webb covers not only the history of the Texas Rangers, but also focuses on some of its more noteworthy, or to some, notorious, men who wore the star. From Jack Hays to Frank ... Read More

Full of stories of heroes and bad guys, this is a book you can read to your kids and enjoy it as much yourself. If you want to know about the sometimes brutal history of Texas, and the brave men who made our state a safer place to live, this is THE BOOK to read on the rangers.

W.P. Webb's history of the Texas Rangers is an excellent example of the 1935 society in which it was written. It is not a "complete" history of the Rangers (through '35), but the facts that he includes are mostly sound. The format is a bit encyclopedic, but Mr. Webb's narration is always beautiful.
The interesting aspect of the book is the facts that Mr. Webb leaves out. While the racist aspects of the Rangers' exploits, expecially during the Mexican War, were well known to contemporary ... Read More

Written in 1935, this book takes a look at the first 100 years of the Texas Rangers. Not an easy read it is very detailed . This book should be used in Texas History Classes where that course is taught. It offers a realistic look at the brutality of life in frontier Texas. Although slow going at times this book has fascinated me for the twenty odd years I have owned it. I use the index as a source of reference when I want to look back into my native Texas' history. I enjoyed this book and ... Read More
