Follow Me to Hell: McNelly’s Texas Rangers and the Rise of Frontier Justice
 

Few law enforcement agencies inspire such exhilaration and fascination as the Texas Rangers, the lawmen who have spent more than 200 years keeping the Lone Star State safe in the way only a good Texan can. Now, in the pages of Follow Me to Hell, you can read the origin story of one of the Texas Rangers’ greatest companies, known as “McNelly’s Rangers”.

Led by Leander McNelly, this group of straight-shooting, hard-boiled lawmen kept the peace in the turbulent 1870s, in a time rife with desperadoes, cattle rustlers, and gun-wielding outlaws.

Read how a company of just 26 Rangers took on hundreds of Mexican soldiers in a daring mission to retrieve stolen cattle, or the adventures that led an entire state to fear and respect the Rangers.

It’s a truly action-packed book filled with real-to-life stories of some of the great men who made the Texas Rangers what they are today.
