In 1875, Major John B. Jones leads the gradual transition of the Texas Rangers from frontier fighters to law enforcement officers. As Texas becomes the heart of the cattle ranching industry in America, cattle rustling becomes a serious problem. In Mason County, two factions battle each other. And as the murder rate rises, Jones leads the Rangers to town to try to settle the affair.\n\xa0\nSELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY\n\u201cThe Texas Rangers: Wearing the Cinco Peso, 1821-1900\u201d by Mike Cox\n\u201cThe Ranger Ideal, Vol. 1&2\u201d by Darren L.
