CAPTAIN LEE HALL OF TEXAS.

Norman:  University of Oklahoma Press, 1940.  ix,350pp.  Index.  Notes. Illustrations by Louis Lundean & Frederic Reminton. Map.  Tan cloth.  First edition. The book is a very good copy.  The pictorial dust shows heavy chipping at the spine ends and moderate edgewear, overall fair.  Adams, One-Fifty 114:  A well-written biography which shows scholarly research.  There are reliable chapters on Sam Bass and the Taylor-Sutton feud, and her account of the feud between Ben Thompson and Joe Foster is the best written so far.”  Jenkins, BTB 167:  “This is a charming, carefully researched biography of one of the most enigmatical Texas peace officers.”  In August 1876, Hall joined the Texas Rangers serving under the legendary Leander H. McNelly and was immediately assigned to the Nueces Strip. A year later he took command of unit due to McNelly’s failing health. He would lead his Rangers to Cuero to break up the Sutton-Taylor feud, fought cattle rustlers, cross border raiding exacerbated by the Diaz Revolution in Mexico, and battled King Fisher and his gang.
