The Reckoning - The Triumph of Order on the Texas Outlaw Frontier

Meticulously researched and documented, The Reckoning examines all the players in the struggle for law and order in the vast, waterless tablelands of the Edwards Plateau of Texas. Rose shows frontier West Texas as it really was: a raw, lawless, unforgiving place and time that yielded only stubbornly to Order and its handmaiden, the Rule of Law
