Description: Deconstructing myths & reconstructing realities, this gritty, day-to-day portrayal, written by Private A. T. Miller, Company B, Frontier Battalion, yields a complex vision of the passing West & its lawmen. A Private in the Texas Rangers takes the reader on a tumultuous ride along the fading Texas-Oklahoma frontier. Three diaries, excerpted & annotated by Miller's great-grandson, John Miller Morris, provide the grist of a remarkable story--a tale of true crime & punishment set against the scenic backdrops of the Rolling Plains, the Panhandle, & Old Greer empires. With Company B's newest recruit, readers saddle up for the wild Texas & Oklahoma trails, ride the new iron rails crossing the Great Panhandle from Fort Worth to Denver, watch meteor showers, flirt with the ladies, & encounter some of Texas' most famous lawmen, ranchers, & trail bosses. Miller's Texas tolerated prostitutes in town but not guns, & death by morphine suicide was often more likely than death by gunfight. Contrary to the dominant legends of sensational frontier violence & lawlessness, Miller's daily journal entries bring to life law & order, decent people & indecent towns, chases & arrests, & stabbings & shootings, while highlighting the long periods of effort & sometimes fruitless activity preceding the capture of an outlaw. Historians, regional scholars, & anyone interested in Texas & the Old West will enjoy this insider's view of how Rangers worked together--building loyalty & trust, their lives possibly forfeit if teamwork failed--& yet endured the loneliness & frustration of life on the American frontier.
