One Ranger: A Memoir (Bridwell Texas History Series) por H. Joaquin Jackson
This is an outstanding memoir. In my opinion the challenge of the genre is how to structure all the stories, otherwise they read like offense reports. Here we are intrigued from the start about how a lawman's son could go so wrong. Near the end of the book when this painful passage is divulged, we've already know Joaquin Jackson. We are left equally confounded. A must read for every Texas lawman.
Standing at over 19 hands if he were a horse, Texas Ranger Joaquin Jackson looked and was the epitome of law enforcement covering many miles of numerous ethnic groups in sprawling South and West Texas from the 1960s to the 90s like the Rangers 100 years ahead of him. He enforced simple justice and didn't put up with any nonsense, except for a smidgen from Hollywood. A life story told by a tough as rawhide man who has his heart broken by people close to him. This is also a story that makes you proud if you're a Texan.… (más)
Excellent book about a man who gave his life to a great legacy, organization and state. Incredible stories of modern 20th century law enforcement in Texas. Bad guys have changed over the years but the risk and dangers to enfoce the law are still the same.
