SynopsisThe Republic of Texas was still in its first exultation over independence when John Salmon "Rip" Ford arrived from South Carolina in June of 1836. Ford stayed to participate in virtually every major event in Texas history during the next sixty years. Doctor, lawyer, surveyor, newspaper reporter, elected representative, and above all, soldier and Indian fighter, Ford sat down in his old age to record the events of the turbulent years through which he had lived. Stephen Oates has edited Ford's memoirs to produce a clear and vigorous personal history of Texas., The memoirs of a man who participlated in virtually every major event in Texas history from 1836 to 1896.

If Ya Wanna Know About Old Time Texas Look No Further!
First time I read this book, it was for a college history course. Thirty years later, I read a quote from this book on Facebook and realized I did not have a copy in my library. A really enjoyable book with lots of frontier justice being dispensed courtesy of the Texas Rangers. Highly recommended!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
