Six Years with the Texas Rangers, 1875 to 1881, by James B. Gillett (1856 - 1937)

All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/six-years-with-the-texas-rangers-1875-to-1881-by-james-b-gillett/
James Gillet recounts his adventures with the Texas Rangers 1856-1937. In a very entertaining style he recounts personal stories of wars, feuds, battles with the Apache nation and pursuing robbers and murderers. From these stories, and others like them, arose the many legends of courage and daring among the Texas Rangers.

“The Texas Rangers, as an organization, dates from the spring of 1836. When the Alamo had fallen before the onslaught of the Mexican troops and the frightful massacre had occurred, General Sam Houston organized among the Texan settlers in the territory a troop of 1600 mounted riflemen. This company, formed for the defense of the Texan borders, was the original Texas Ranger unit. . .” from chapter 2
(Summary by Larry Wilson)

Been awhile since I've had a project set in the old American West, so thought we'd give this one a whirl.
