Synopsis

"Texas, by God!" cried notorious killer John Wesley Hardin when he saw a Colt .45 pointed at him on a train in Florida. At the other end of the pistol stood Texas Ranger John B. Armstrong. Hardin's arrest assured Armstrong a place in history, but his story is larger, fuller, and even more important-and until now it has never been told. As Elmer Kelton notes in his afterword to this book, "Chuck Parsons's biography is a long-delayed and much-justified tribute to Armstrong's service to Texas." Parsons fills in the missing details of a Ranger and rancher's life, correcting some common misconceptions and adding to the record of a legendary group of lawmen and pioneers. ". . . filled with exploits of hair-raising adventure. . . . For fans of the traditional Old West shoot'em up, and those interested in knowing what became of the men who outlived their violent pasts, Parsons brings the two together with this book."--Southwestern Historical Quarterly "If you are a fan of the Old West, this is a biography that belongs on your bookshelf right next to the stories about the other great lawmen. . . ."--Cowboy Chronicle "Exceptionally well researched from a number of primary and secondary sources, Armstrong's story is worth telling and Parsons tells it well."--Jerry Thompson, author, Cortina: Defending the Mexican Name in Texas Number Ten: Canseco-Keck History Series CHUCK PARSONS, author of Pidge, Texas Ranger, has written twelve books about Texas outlaws and lawmen and has contributed chapters to two other books, including Legendary Watering Holes: The Saloons That Made Texas Famous.
