Cult of Glory: The Bold and Brutal History of the Texas Rangers

The Texas Rangers came to life in 1823, when Texas was still part of Mexico. Using archival evidence, political analysis, and reconstructed events, Cult of Glory moves between close observation and a wider account of the systems surrounding its subject. By placing Cult of Glory within history and political science, the book reveals why its central tensions extend well beyond one person, place, or moment. Readers come away with both the essential context and a sharper sense of how the bold and brutal history of the texas rangers continues to shape the present.
