Twelve Years in the Saddle for Law and Order on the Frontiers of Texas (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9788027334278)

"In offering this book to the public, I have not undertaken to present a history of my life. I do not consider my life of enough importance to warrant making a book about it. What I have undertaken to do is to tell some of the exciting experiences that have fallen to the lot of that noble band, the Texas Ranger force, of which I had the honor to be a member for twelve years."
