Book Reviews of One Ranger: A Memoir
Book Review: The Best Book I have read in a very long time
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband saw this on Texas Country Reporter, where the museum at Alpine had some of Mr. Jackson's attire and his daughter in law was talking about him and the book. So I ordered it and it was great, I couldn't stop listening to the audio version, it is one of those books you have to finish it to see what happened next. I just had to buy a copy for my Mother and for my son and one for a very dear friend. All loved it. What an honor it would be to meet Mr. Jackson a true hero and a true cowboy as I know them. Their word is their honor. I have family and friends in Alpine Texas, this is the real west and the real people who live there.
Summary of One Ranger: A Memoir
When his picture appeared on the cover of Texas Monthly, Joaquin Jackson became the icon of the modern Texas Rangers. Nick Nolte modeled his character on him in the movie Extreme Prejudice. Jackson even had a speaking part of his own in The Good Old Boys with Tommy Lee Jones. But the role that Jackson has always played the best is that of the man who wears the silver badge cut from a Mexican cinco peso coin, a working Texas Ranger. Legend says that one Ranger is all it takes to put down lawlessness and restore the peace?one riot, one Ranger. In this adventure-filled memoir, Joaquin Jackson recalls what is was like to be the Ranger who responded when riots threatened, violence erupted, and criminals needed to be brought to justice across a wide swath of the Texas-Mexico border from 1966 to 1993.Memoirs Books
