Savage
Frontier: Rangers, Riflemen, and Indian Wars in Texas: 1835-1837
by Stephen L. Moore
Book Description: Savage Frontier represents a comprehensive
study of the formative years of the legendary Texas Rangers, focusing on
the three-year period between 1835 and 1837, when Texas was struggling
to gain its independence from Mexico and assert itself as a new nation.
Stephen Moore vividly portrays another struggle of the settlers of Texas
to tame a wilderness frontier and secure a safe place to build their homes
and raise their families. The author uses extensive primary records and
accounts to document the organization of early ranger units and their activities.
Of particular interest to the reader will be the various rosters of
these early ranger companies, which are found throughout the book. Many
of these muster rolls have been compiled from multiple sources and have
never been published before.

Taming
the Nueces Strip
by George Durham
Book Description:
"...the reader seems to smell the acrid gunsmoke and to hear the creak
of saddle leather." --Southwestern Historical Quarterly ". . . a true adventure
story with so many unusual features that it is sure to be prized by collectors
of Texana." --from the Foreword by Walter Prescott Webb.
Only an extraordinary Texas Ranger could have cleaned up bandit-plagued
Southwest Texas, between the Nueces River and the Rio Grande, in the years
following the Civil War. Thousands of raiders on horseback, some of them
Anglo-Americans, regularly crossed the river from Mexico to pillage, murder,
and rape. Their main objective? To steal cattle, which they herded back
across the Rio Grande to sell. Honest citizens found it almost impossible
to live in the Nueces Strip. In desperation, the governor of Texas called
on an extraordinary man, Captain Leander M. McNelly, to take command of
a Ranger company and stop these border bandits. One of McNelly's recruits
for this task was George Durham, a Georgia farmboy in his teens when he
joined the "Little McNellys," as the Captain's band called themselves.
More than half a century later, it was George Durham, the last surviving
"McNelly Ranger," who recounted the exciting tale of taming the Nueces
Strip to San Antonio writer Clyde Wantland. In Durham's account, those
long-ago days are brought vividly back to life. Once again the daring McNelly
leads his courageous band across Southwest Texas to victories against incredible
odds. With a boldness that overcame their dismayingly small number, the
McNellys succeeded in bringing law and order to the untamed Nueces Strip--succeeded
so well that they antagonized certain "upright" citizens who had been pocketing
surreptitious dollars from the bandits' operations.
