Description: "A Private in the Texas Rangers takes us for a tumultuous ride along the fading Texas-Oklahoma frontier. Three diaries, excerpted and annotated by Miller's great-grandson, John Miller Morris, provide the grist of a remarkable story - a tale of true crime and punishment set against the scenic backdrops of the Rolling Plains, Panhandle, and Old Greer empires.".

"Through Miller's eyes, we experience the wonder of the western prairie and encounter some of Texas' most famous lawmen, ranchers, and trail bosses." "Historians, regional scholars, and anyone interested in Texas and the Old West will enjoy this insider's view of how Rangers worked together building loyalty and trust, their lives possibly forfeit if teamwork failed - and yet still endured the loneliness and frustration of life on the closing American frontier."--BOOK JACKET.
