Summary: Brings Texas History to Life
Comment: Probably one of the best researched, and best written account of both Texas and Texas Ranger history.
I originally got the book for my own interest, but soon decided to use it as a primary resource for a major research paper.
Robinson even tells the part of The Alamo story that almost all high school Texas History teachers leave out.
This book should be one of the textbooks students should use for Texas History.
You can feel the power of Jack Hayes, the heat of the Texas desert, you fear for the men at The Alamo, and you feel like your riding along side the Rangers against the Indians.
This book is required reading for any Texan who wants to know more about the history of the state and many of its legends.

Summary: Masterpiece of history
Comment: Being a native Texan I thought I had heard and read all there was with regards to the Texas Rangers, This book proved me wrong but delightfully so. An excellent book if you want the history of Texas as well as history of the Rangers. The detail with which Mr Robinson writes covers the ground they rode as well as their undying love of Texas and their duty.Although I did wish for some articles to be more detailed, it was hopefully due more to the loss of records then any intentional overlook by the author. Excellent reading, hard to put down.

Summary: Balanced and interesting account of the real Rangers
Comment: Robinson captures all the important characters and events in this short, easy-to-read, well balanced book of the Texas Rangers. The book is actually a series of short stories about the most notorious and memorable men who made the Texas Rangers legendary not only for their fortitude and bravery, but also for their ruthlessness and sometimes lawlessness. The book is very objective and does not attempt to portray the Rangers as gods. Nevertheless, the Rangers were a unique band of men who often sacrificed their lives to protect the ordinary citizen living in remote areas of Texas. The real Texas Rangers and their actual accomplishments are far more amazing than the myth that continues to surround these extraordinary men to this day.
