Description: “Six Years With The Texas Rangers", by James Gillett, publisher Yale University Press 1925. A fascinating account of one Ranger's life attempting to maintain law and order on the Texan frontier. James Buchanan Gillett (1856-1937) was a lawman of the Old West, mostly known for his service as a Texas Ranger. He is a member of the Texas Rangers Hall of Fame. This edition features a photograph of the author on page 238. Long considered one of the classic memoirs by a Texas Ranger. The rangers were founded in 1823 when Stephen F. Austin, known as the Father of Texas, employed ten men to act as rangers to protect 600 to 700 newly settled families who arrived in Mexican Texas following the Mexican War of Independence. This is one of the finest personal memoirs of Texas Ranger service... Jeff Dykes said: "I heard Capt. Gillett tell this story and it reads like he talked - you simply live those six years with him." - BTB 76 "I regard Gillett as the strongest and straightest of all ranger narrators. He combined in his nature wild restlessness and loyal gentleness. He wrote in sunlight." - Dobie p. 59-60. (Graff 1553; Six-Guns 829; Howes G177; One-Fifty 62; Rader 1591).
