"Ranger's Law" brings together the fourth, fifth, and sixth of
Elmer Kelton's novels on the formative years of the Texas Rangers.
Kelton's young heroes, Rusty Shannon, and one-time Comanche
captive, Andy Pickard, fight Indians, outlaws, feuding ranchers,
smugglers, and all manner of lawbreakers while trying to make lives
for themselves in the tumult of post-Civil War Texas. In "Ranger's
Trail "it is 1874 and retired Texas Ranger Rusty Shannon is urged
to rejoin the force to assist in protecting settlers from Indian
raids and outlaw bands. After the girl he loves dies, Rusty goes on
a vengeance trail, determined to find and kill the man who has
ruined his life. But the trail Rusty is following may lead him to
an innocent man.
"Texas"" Vendetta"" "takes the young ranger Andy Pickard into the
midst of a hate-filled and bloody post-Civil War feud between two
Texas families. Pickard, who survived a childhood as a Comanche
captive called "Badger Boy," also becomes involved with the young
son of an outlaw, a boy who has been "adopted" by the rangers at
their San Saba River camp, earning his way as a cook's helper. The
boy's father, now released from prison, comes to take his son back,
and into a life on the run.
In "Jericho's Road, "Andy Pickard is assigned to the Texas-Mexico
border and finds an ominous notice on the edge of a great tract of
ranch land above the Rio Grande: "This is Jericho's Road. Take the
Other."" "The sign signifies Jericho Jackson's land and Jackson is
at war with a similarly ruthless cattle baron on the Mexican side
of the river, Guadalupe Chavez. The two rustle each others' cattle,
raiding and killing on both sides of the border, heading for a
bloody showdown -- with the Texas Rangers standing between them.
