Captain L. H. McNelly, Texas Ranger
The Life and Times of a Fighting Man
Chuck Parsons and Marianne E. Hall Little Introduction by Dolph Briscoe, Jr.
The first authentic biography of one of the most famous of the
nineteenth century Texas RangersCapt. Leander H. McNelly. No
history of the murderous Sutton-Taylor Feud, or of the Texas State
Police, or of the depredations of the Mexican Gen. Juan H. Cortina,
or of the rancher Richard King, or of the infamous Nueces Strip can
be written without major emphases on the influence of McNelly and
the men who followed him so loyally.
