The first authentic biography of one of the most famous of the
nineteenth century Texas Rangers—Capt. 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.
