Texas Devils: Rangers & Regulars on the Lower Rio Grande, 1846-1861

Michael L. Collins

University of Oklahoma Press, 2008. Dust jacket. $26.95 Soft cover, $19.95

The Texas Rangers have been the source of tall tales and the stuff of legend as well as a growing darker reputation. But the story of the Rangers along the Mexican border between Texas statehood and the onset of the Civil War has been largely overlooked - until now.

This engaging history pulls readers back to a chaotic time along the lower Rio Grande in the mid-nineteenth century to reexamine the acitivites of Texas partisans.

Mining a rich vein of primary sources, Collins demonstrates that the Texas Rangers contributed to the violence and were often brutal in their injustices against Spanish-speaking inhabitants, who dubbed them los diablos Tejanos - the Texas devils.
