Set in the Republic of Texas, circa 1840 to 1846, Saga of a Texas
Ranger is the first in a series of four historic Westerns written
by Jeffery Robenalt. Sixteen-year-old Caleb McAdams and his family
sell their prosperous farm in Tennessee and head for Texas to
escape a deadly feud, but danger also lurks on the Texas frontier.
While Caleb is out rounding up longhorns, his family is massacred
by Comanches during the great raid of 1840. Seeking revenge, Caleb
volunteers to fight with Captain Jack Hays and the Texas Rangers at
the battle of Plum Creek. Caleb displays such courage and skill
that Hays enlists him as a scout. "Saga of a Texas Ranger is a
vivid portrayal of the challenges and trials faced by a young Texas
Ranger during the infant years of the Republic of Texas. Jeffery
Robenalt's extensive knowledge of Texas history and geography has
allowed him to weave a captivating story of adventure,
perseverance, and romance that will immediately capture and hold
any reader's imagination." - Donaly E. Brice, Texas State Archives,
noted Texas historian and author of The Great Comanche Raid
"Absolutely spellbinding If you're looking for action and high
adventure, Jeff Robenalt has provided it. Saga of a Texas Ranger is
a rousing, historically accurate tale told in the tradition of
Louis Lamour's Sackett Chronicles. You won't want to put it down."
- Flip Flippen, New York Times bestselling author of The Flip Side
