H. Joaquin Jackson (1935-2016) retired from the Texas Rangers in 1993, after a twenty-seven-year career. In 2006, he was awarded the William Penn Award for public service by the Penn Club of Philadelphia.
David Marion Wilkinson is an award-winning writer whose books include Oblivion's Altar, The Empty Quarter, and Not between Brothers.
A powerful, moving read. . . . One Ranger is as fascinating as the
memoirs of nineteenth-century Rangers James Gillett and George
Durham, and the histories by Frederick Wilkins and Walter Prescott
Webb--and equally as important.-- "True West"
Superb memoir . . . One Ranger is Jackson's own story, a personal
tale of adventure, service, love, grief, heartache, and hope. Yet
embodied within its pages is the story of every Ranger--the pages
of the book are thick with the weight of history. Jackson well
knows his place in the continuum of the Texas Rangers, the history
of Texas, and the epic of what is today the American Southwest.--
"America's 1st Freedom"
