Reviews for Terry's Texas Rangers
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A touching retelling of a tragic and moving part of American history. My great grandfather, Felix Corbell, served in Terry's Rangers Company D and I was interested in this book for this reason. I hope other students of this part of history will find the narrative to be of interest to them.
