Produktbeschreibung

A gripping slice of Americana, telling the exciting tale of Texas Ranger Daniel Webster Roberts' Ranger service. As Captain of Company D, this book details the social life of the rangers, their relations with frontier society, their food, dress, and entertainment."e;We set out in this writing to record the work of Company "e;D"e;, Frontier Battalion, not for any selfish consideration. But, being almost importuned by our real friends to do so, we thought we could tell what we really know to be true in a way that might spin out a thread strong enough to bind together an intelligent idea of the needs of that service, how the service was performed, and at least a vision of the final disposition of the horrid Indian question. Our egotism doesn't lead us to say that Texas did it all; but our little part is richly treasured in the archives of our "e;native heath"e;-Texas. Our sorrows are there, also, in many a grave not even marked by human hands to show where our brave defenders met death-yielding the last sacrifice in defense of Texas."e;
