"The early 1840s was one of the most turbulent chapters in the history of the lower Rio Grande valley. Readers familiar with earlier volumes in the Savage Frontier series will find much to admire in Steven Moore's eminently readable account."--Sam W. Haynes, author of "Soldiers of Misfortune: The Somervell and Mier Expeditions" PRAISE FOR THE "SAVAGE FRONTIER" SERIES "An exhaustively researched study of the pervasive violence that confronted the newborn Texas Rangers even in colonial days."--Kent Biffle, "Dallas"" Morning News" "The volumes of "Savage Frontier" provide exciting action and accurate history. In addition, important genealogical material is given for anyone seeking the role of his or her ancestors in early Texas history."--Chuck Parsons, "Texas Ranger Dispatch" "Moore has done an extraordinary job of exhaustively researching his subject. I am not aware of any other book that investigates this period of Ranger history with such thoroughness as "Savage Frontier"."--Donaly Brice, author of "The Great Comanche Raid" "Moore's fourth and final volume of the "Savage Frontier" series contains many compelling battle narratives, but there is a wealth of social as well as military history lurking in these chapters. No one who is interested in the people and the problems of the Texas Republic can afford to leave these pages unread."--James E. Crisp, author of "How Did Davy Die? And Why Do We Care So Much?"
