Note:Mike Cox knows as much about the Texas Rangers as anybody on this planet. And in this, his second book about the Rangers, he spins more great talesof these larger-than-life heroes and their sometimes almost unbelievable adventures. These are all new stories, some only told among the Rangers themselves, some told quietly over remote campfires, and others only whispered over elegant dinner tables.
