[.ca] One Ranger: A Memoir (ISBN 0292702590)

A memorable walk in the boots of a Texas Ranger !:
H. Joaquin Jackson has written a memoir of his twenty-seven year career in the Texas Rangers that stands with the best, and I have read them all! With the guiding hand of David Marion Wilkinson (Not Between Brothers) he has crafted a narrative that puts a very human, compassionate, and often humourous slant on the serious job of Law Enforcement. I was lucky enough to meet Joaquin Jackson in Alpine, Texas in 2004. He is fascinating to talk to, and his memoir is one I couldn't put down. Not just for students of the Texas Rangers, this is a good read for anyone. You will not be disappointed. G.M.
