Reviews

Wonderful reader, brilliant book


(5 stars)

This is great. The author has a real sly, dry sense of humour which the reader is able to convey effortlessly. He has a fantastic drawl, very appropriate to the text. If I had any complaints, it would be that often the anecdotes leave you wanting more details - what happened after that?! kind of thing, but as a diligent lawman, he seems to have taken taciturn to new levels, so we will never know. Highly recommended

A true account of a Texas Ranger


(5 stars)

Full of interesting accounts of his experiences as a Texas Ranger, but wish he had told the rest of the story sometimes. Narrator also did a good job conveying the taciturn understatement of the author.

entertaining


(4 stars)

Fun to listen to. Being from Texas, the mispronunciation of some of our towns and people was a little irksome. It was still a good story.

An important piece of history


(5 stars)

Made me feel like I was hearing about the West. Except not Bonanza, or that stuff. But REAL history. The author never complains about lack of air conditioning. Glad I listened to the end.
