First edition. 8vo. Color pictorial wrappers, 446 pp., preface, acknowledgments, appendix, bibliography, index. The preface says it best, "This book is intended to be a comprehensive reference of the Texas lawmen who died during the 1800s ....... the lawmen are listed by the agency for which they served in chronological order." "These are little known stories of brave men who should never be forgotten. The tally of Texas lawmen killed during the state's first sixty-five years of organized law enforcement is truly staggering." "Not merely an attempt to retell a dozen popular peace officer legends..." As new, unread copy. An impressive bibliography is presented. Signed by both authors.
