Sergeant Sullivan tells the story of his life as a Texas Ranger for 12 incredible years in the late 1800s.

This is a memoir written by a Texas Ranger who served from approximately 1888 to 1900. I found it to be very interesting and think readers who like Texas and Western history of this period would like it too.

Sullivan briefly talks about his early life and then his career with the Rangers. As you migh

Fascinating book

A wonderful first hand account of 12 years as a Texas Ranger, told without any self glorifying drama. A straight forward telling of life and duty and all the more fascinating for it.

I suppose because its a bio, a lot of the stories are kind of dull.
In fact most of the stories are..."We were looking for these guys, then we found them and arrested them".
Its fine, just surprisingly dull.

Full of action.

Extremely interesting, having traveled through almost every area mentioned in the book, one can just imagine the action described therein. The Texas Rangers were and always be the most respected law enforcement in the land.

Outstanding autobiography!

Sgt..Sullivan embodies the spirit of doing the right
Thing, keeping the peace, and serving his state, his God, and his fellow man in a way that was over and above any compensation or reward. He shows how a good man can earn the respect of his community, and fellow officers

If you enjoy history of the old west, especially of the Peace Officers, then you will like this one.

Although the author writes in the way he thought and spoke back in the 1800's old west, it is interesting and easy to decipher his meaning. Life of a Texas Ranger was not an easy one and it was a very

Fascinating book - gives a real insight into the life of the Wild West and particularly that of a Texas Ranger.
The book doesn't really flow very well and, as mentioned in the foreword, comes over very much as a set of reminiscences coming out in conversation over a drink but for anyone interested in
