3.0

A very detailed history of the men who eventually were called Texas Rangers. I was especially intrigued by the period just prior to, during, and after the Civil War and Reconstruction, when political tensions were still high and volatile.

I took my time reading this book because of all the details, and I probably would have gotten more out of it had I been more familiar with Texas history. But I enjoyed the book and look forward to tackling Volume Two next.
