They would stop at nothing in pursuit of justice, even sending twenty-six Rangers across the border to retrieve stolen cattle, taking on Mexican troops with nothing but their Sharps rifles and six-guns. The nation came to call them "McNelly's Rangers." Set against the backdrop of 200 years of thrilling Texas Rangers history, this page-turner takes readers into the tough life along the Texas border that was tamed by a courageous captain and his team of fearless men"--Back cover.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Library For The Blind and Print Disabled Large Type LT 363.20967 CL Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Large Type LT 363.20976 Cl Checked In Add Copy to MyList
