“This book is a fine edition to our knowledge of the Rangers.” – Ralph Wooster, Author and Professor of History Lamar University“This book was a joy to read. Even the endnotes are well worth reading, containing a lot of information expanding upon that in the narrative. This account goes a long way to explain why and how the Rangers achieved an almost mythical status and why they live on today in ‘living history’ and art." – Ralph Green, critic“Jeffrey Murrah shows us who this band of brothers, cousins, friends, and neighbors really were–and why they fought as they did.” – Clyde Wilson, Author and Professor of History, U of South Carolina“None But Texians should be on the bookshelf of everyone who has an interest in the Civil War and Texas’s participation in it.
