Soft cover. Condición: Near Fine. Lonnie Rees (Illustrator) & photos Ilustrador. Second Edition, Third Printing. Text/BRAND NEW & Bright. Illustrated soft cover/NF with trace shelfwear. First published 1935, exactly a century after the Texas Rangers was established, and absorbed into a larger organization, ceased to be. As J. Frank Dobie says in this volume historian Walter Prescott Webb (1888-1963) gives "The beginning, middle, and end of the subject." Dobie, here, refers to the entrenched popular fiction's stereotyped portraits of these soldiers naught but ". a pair of swaggering boots, a big hat, and a six shooter moving across the prairies under a cloud of pistol smoke." 584 pgs, foreword from President Lyndon B. Johnson of May,1965, in 23 chapters, places the Texas Ranger as an American fighting force in the Texas frontier when Mexican, Native Indian & westward moving American cultures knew no peace. Fine copy.
