Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Gun smoke, improvised justice and uneasy truces: early Los Angeles was less a city than a battleground. In Reminiscences of a Ranger, Horace Bell recounts in first person how Southern California lurched from remote frontier to contested American possession. As a volunteer ranger on the old Los Angeles frontier, he moves through saloons, courtrooms and dusty outposts where life is cheap and tempers quick. Danger was a daily fact. Bell's western frontier memoir book blends wild west memoirs with classic California history, observing politicians, bandits and settlers with sardonic wit and a veteran's eye.More than personal adventure, Reminiscences of a Ranger stands as a cornerstone of early Southern California history. Set against gold rush era California and the aftermath of the Mexican-American War, Bell's recollections trace pioneer days in California, the rise of frontier law and order, and the rough-and-ready California Rangers history that tried to hold violence in check. His candid portraits of shifting alliances and local power-brokers create a vivid primary source for western history buffs and an engaging read for California history students.Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. For lovers of history and anyone fascinated by how law, violence and ambition shaped a region, Bell's chronicle remains an essential American west history book and a compelling window into the making of modern Los Angeles.…
