Captain's Rangers

By: Elmer Kelton

Narrated by: Kevin Orton

This entry in Elmer Kelton's Tales of Texas series whisks us away to witness a violent 1875 conflict. Thirty years after the Battle of San Jacinto, Texans and Mexicans are still spilling blood over control of the Nueces Strip. And Horse thieves and bushwhackers transform this hot, dry stretch between the Nueces and Rio Grande rivers into a lawless inferno. Despite long odds, Captain McNelly and his small band of Texas Rangers strive to bring lasting peace to this swirling vortex of murder and racial hatred.©1996 Elmer Kelton (P)2008 Recorded Books

good read

historical and interesting fun time .Love these story will continue to listen to them. enjoyed it.

Very good story with a basis in historical fact

‘Captain’s Rangers’, like virtually all of Elmer Kelton’s books is a good story, told well and based, if loosely, on historical fact. It describes well the turmoil and instability of the border country along the Nueces River between the Texas and Mexico border after the wars and before the country settled down. As usual for Kelton, there are great characters and good character development. Very believable and lots of tension with good resolution. I would highly recommend it as a good read.
