This first volume of the Savage Frontier series is a comprehensive 
account of the formative years of the legendary Texas Rangers. 
Stephen L. Moore provides fresh detail about each ranging unit 
formed during the Texas Revolution and narrates their involvement 
in the pivotal battle of San Jacinto and later battles at Parker's 
Fort, the Elm Creek Fight, Post Oak Springs Massacre, and the 
Stone Houses Fight. Of particular interest to the reader will be the 
various rosters of the companies, which are found throughout the book.

    The first edition was previously published by Republic of Texas 
Press in paperback only; it has now been reprinted in hardcover 
and paperback.

What people are saying about this book

"Moore's reconstructed muster rolls of companies whose original 
records have been lost are alone worth the cost of this book."—
James E. Crisp, author of Sleuthing the Alamo

the maze of administrative problems of a fledgling nation in almost
