Book Review

Lone Star Lawmen: The Second Century of the Texas Rangers. By Robert M. Utley. (New York: Oxford University Press, 2007. xiii + 400 pp. Illustrations, maps, notes, bibliography, index. $30.00.)

With a series of books published over several decades Robert M. Utley established himself as a highly regarded authority on George Armstrong Custer, Sitting Bull, and the Indian wars of the nineteenth century. Then, in 1987, he expanded his appraisal of nineteenth century western American history with High Noon in Lincoln: Violence on the Western Frontier (Albuquerque), a well-received history of the still-controversial Lincoln County War of New Mexico. This study led him almost inexorably to a book on that conflict's most intriguing figure, and two years later Billy the Kid: A Short and Violent Life (Lincoln, 1989) appeared. In 1997, his interest turned once again to a new frontier and A Life Wild and Perilous: Mountain Men and the Paths to the Pacific (New York) was published to critical acclaim.
