Review
"Mike Cox has a unique background for presenting the checkered history of the Rangers. During several years as a spokesman for the Texas Department of Safety, he had access to detailed records and experienced first-hand the mystique that clings to this fabled law enforcement body. Though he gives us the flashes of glory, he does not flinch from the dark side of the Rangers' past."--Elmer Kelton, Texas legend and author of The Texas Rangers novel series "A richly detailed and sweeping historical narrative. . . . This modern masterpiece does full justice to both the reality and the myth of the Texas Rangers---a great organization of which I was honored to be a part for 27 years."---Joaquin Jackson, Texas Ranger (Ret) -- Author of "One Ranger: A Memoir" "Big, brawny and proud as the people who created Texas, Mike Cox's The Texas Rangers, Wearing the Cinco Peso, 1821-1900 is a welcome addition to Texas history. I enjoyed it thoroughly."---Stephen Coonts, "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Traitor" "Anyone who reads this book will feel they have found a new electrifying country that they never knew existed. That's how different Texas was in the early days of the Texas Rangers."--Thomas Fleming "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Secret Trial of Robert E. Lee"
