Summary "Six Years with the Texas Rangers, 1875 to 1881" by James B. Gillett is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the author's personal experiences as a Texas Ranger during a turbulent period marked by conflicts with Native American tribes and local feuds. Gillett's narrative serves as a testament to the adventures, challenges, and camaraderie found in the life of these legendary lawmen. The opening of the book establishes the author's motivations for becoming a Texas Ranger, tracing his passion for adventure to his upbringing and family history. Gillett provides insights into his childhood in Austin, Texas, including tales told by his father about frontier life and his aspirations of becoming a frontiersman.
