Rangers and Pioneers of Texas

By: A. J. Sowell

Narrated by: Bruce F. Davis

This audiobook of true-life tales was first published in 1883. The accounts are related by a Ranger who experienced most of the history first-hand. It deals with, among others, the War of Independence from Mexico including the Alamo, and scouting expeditions into the Wichita Mountains.

Good history; should have been read by a Texan

The content was a very honest retelling based on primary sources and first-hand experience of the author. The narration, on the other hand should have been performed by a native Texan as so many of the names that are now well-known city or county names were butchered worse than a bony longhorn steer.

Too Brutal

Too brutal. All negative on the native Americans.
Not a series I would buy again

True accounts. authentic

First hand accounts from a Texas Ranger
relating historical and personal events that occurred in the developing Texas west involving Indians, Mexicans, and Pioneers

Only for the few

This is an unrelated collection of stories of Indian massacres across Texas, not even organized by region or time.
