A Century of Frontier Defense
Book • 1935
Walter Prescott Webb's seminal 1935 work provides a detailed account of the Texas Rangers from the early days of the Texas Republic through statehood, covering their battles against Indians, Mexican vaqueros, outlaws, and their evolution as a law enforcement force.
Pro-Ranger in perspective, the book draws from campfire stories and historical records, highlighting key figures like Captain Bill McDonald and events leading up to the Texas Centennial.
