A superb biography of a famous Texas Ranger on the Western frontier
William Jesse 'Bill' McDonald was born in Kemper County, Mississippi in 1852, but it was in the state of Texas where he earned his reputation as one of the most notable captains of the famous Texas Rangers. Such was his fame that Albert Paine, best known for his work on Mark Twain, was persuaded to become his biographer and that decision has resulted in a finely crafted account of McDonald's life in which his western character and amiability authentically shines through the various anecdotes of his life as a lawman on the South-Western frontier. Having moved to Wood County, Texas as a young man, McDonald became a grocer, but developed an interest in the law and soon became a Deputy Sheriff, Ranger and U.S. Deputy Marshall. Before long he was capturing cattle rustlers and train-robbers in the 'No-Man's-Land' and the Cherokee Strip. In 1891 McDonald became captain of Texas Rangers Company B, Frontier Battalion and set about bringing bank robbers, murderers and outlaw Mexican-Americans to justice with extraordinary success. Such was McDonald's renown that he eventually became a bodyguard for Theodore Roosevelt (who contributed an introduction to this biography), Woodrow Wilson and William Howard Taft. This is an essential book for anyone interested in the Texas Rangers and is highly recommended.

Описание: Albert Bigelow Paine (1861-1937) was an American author and biographer best known for his work with Mark Twain. He was a member of the Pulitzer Prize Committee and wrote in several genres, including fiction, humour, verse, travel books, and stories for children. Paine had a long association with Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens), lived and travelled with him for four years, and acted as his literary executor, arranging for the publication of Mark Twain's Letters (1917). He wrote The Boy's Life of Mark Twain (1916), and A Short Life of Mark Twain (1920), but his outstanding work was his 4-volume biography, subtitled The Personal and Literary Life of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, published in 1912. Volume 1, Part 2 covers the period 1866-75, during which Twain travelled to the Holy Land and later to England, lectured widely, published The Innocents Abroad and Roughing It, courted and married Olivia (Livy) Langdon, and started work on Tom Sawyer.
