Reynolds, black-and-white pictorial endpapers w/front endpapers of Lampasas, Texas & rear endpapers of Lockhart, Texas. the book is SIGNED by both authors, Chuck Parsons & Donaly E. Bryce on the half title page. N.O. Reynolds was a former Union soldier who became a Texas Ranger, and eventually the commander of Company E of the Frontier Battalion. With this selection, Reynolds deliberately chose an occupation of hardship and dangers. The Rangers often slept on the ground, spent long hours in the saddle, dug for water, prayed for rain and a good horse, and hoped those occasional bullets passing by their ears never carrier their name. The authors have described law enforcement during the 1870s and 1880s. Signed by Both Authors First Edition No Jacket Hard Cover Near Fine Sm4to from 9" to 11"
