Summary:
In 1870s Texas, Ranger Leander McNelly led his men in one campaign after another, throwing dangerous criminals into jail or six feet under. They would stop at nothing in pursuit of justice, even sending twenty-six Rangers across the border to retrieve stolen cattle, taking on Mexican troops with nothing but their Sharps rifles and six-guns. The nation came to call them "McNelly's Rangers." Set against the backdrop of 200 years of thrilling Texas Rangers history, this page-turner takes readers into the tough life along the Texas border that was tamed by a courageous captain and his team of fearless men.
