Since the Museum is part of the Waco city government, you get the generic city messages.Jim Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02190709130368990745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-65703128977711864712014-01-27T17:30:49.837-06:002014-01-27T17:30:49.837-06:00Cheryl, Jim's stories always interest me becau...<b>Cheryl</b>, Jim's stories always interest me because he includes such a wealth of research about one of my favorite subjects: Texas Rangers. I've stepped over a spoilers line a time or two, I'm afraid, but I try not to do that. Thanks for dropping in! :-)<br /><br /><b>Jim</b>, I'm going to have to round up copies of Mike's books. My research shelves have two big holes in them, evidently! :-D One of the nicest experiences I've had in doing my own research about the Rangers has been dealing with the folks at the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum in Waco. For such a small staff on such a limited budget, that gang is incredibly helpful. I know you've worked with them, too, and I suspect you found the same thing. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05740371055384281988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-37830133538986544082014-01-27T17:01:39.676-06:002014-01-27T17:01:39.676-06:00Thanks, Kathleen.

If you want to read the actual account of the real life stagecoach robbery which starts off THE RANGER, it's in Mike Cox's TEXAS RANGERS TALES II. Mike's TEXAS RANGERS TALES I and II are excellent reading for anyone interested in true stories of the Rangers.

You always manage to review books in such a way that you're able to let us know how exciting and interesting the reading is going to be without giving away any spoilers. That's a talent I do not have.

Charlie, your THE FORTY-NINERS is next on my list. Looking forward to that one, because I'm not well-acquainted with that era or the folks involved. Knowing you, though, I will be once I've finished the book. ;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05740371055384281988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-48832247771151492382014-01-27T11:24:37.138-06:002014-01-27T11:24:37.138-06:00Kathleen,
