Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There's a statue in Nottingham, England of Robin Hood. He and his Merry Men are known for robbing the rich to give to the poor. Five centuries later there's Sam Bass, later known as the most notorious outlaw in the state of Texas, along with his desperados, not known as Merry Men, but as Horse Marines. Sean E. Jacob's creative nonfiction style of storytelling is exemplified when he retells the true story of Sam Bass and Gang. The first question that comes to mind, was Sam Bass the Robin Hood of Texas? One would sure think so. Why would such a notorious outlaw have a Texas Historical Marker, a carefully maintained gravesite, and reenactments of his final shootout in Round Rock, Texas each year? Sam Bass Road has been around for years, but the deputy sheriff he allegedly killed, remained lost in the history books for many years. As a matter of fact, it was only in recent years the deputy, Caige Grimes, also known as Alijah W. Grimes, was memorialized by a road being named after him in Round Rock. Sam Bass was a reckless young lad who remained true to his men to the very last, who shared his gold with the less fortunate in Denton County, Texas. He was gallant with the ladies in each town he traveled and dearly loved children and horses. Sam Bass was a charismatic leader who won the respect of cowboys, ranchers, saloon keepers, and farmers all across north Texas. Was Sam Bass a Robin Hood? Were his fellow gang members the Merry Men? As the first in the Texas Outlaw series, the life and adventures of Sam Bass, the notorious Union Pacific and Texas train robber, unfold. James B. Gillett, six years with the Texas Rangers as well as many other law enforcement individuals chased Sam Bass and his outlaws across Texas in one of the longest, if not the longest, manhunt in history. In researching for the scenes in the novel, a few capturing quotes from unknown people in old newspaper articles were spotted along the way. They lend a certain amount of to tell the story of Sam Bass during his desperado years of 1870-1878: "Don't squat with your spurs on." "Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear, or a fool from any direction." Texas Ranger Richard "Dick" Ware, a main character in the novel, will attest, if he were still alive today, "Never ask a barber if you need a haircut!" This fresh retelling of Sam Bass deserves a place on the bookshelf of Texas history. There are many historical figures from the Lone Star State in this portrayal of Bass and gang. Governor Hubbard, after listening to the outcry of the legislature, called in the Texas Rangers and other pioneer law enforcement individuals of Texas to seek out and capture Sam Bass. The Texas Rangers, in an effort to coral Sam Bass, find his trail heading west in a effort to join up with Quanah Parker and the Comanche, the most powerful Indian tribe of the time. In 1938, a race horse by the name of Seabiscuit, made history and was one of the most electrifying and popular attractions in sports history. What a few people today realize the Denton Mare, owned by Sam Bass and sired by the great Steeldust, won numerous races and topped the headlines of many newspapers in Texas in 1875, more than sixty years earlier.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: $5,000 REWARD. Wanted Dead or Alive. Notorious Badman. SAM BASS, alias Sam Bushon, and Honest Eph. If sighted, immediately call the nearest U. S. Marshall's Office. After a month of moving BeeBop Publishing Group to Georgetown, Texas from Brenham, Texas, I took a ride south on IH-35 from Georgetown to Austin. I couldn't help but notice a large green and white highway sign that said Sam Bass Road. I became interested where this road went, exited, and followed it to a road sign for A. W. Grimes Boulevard. I'm not sure why, but I needed to find out who these people were just like I did when I wrote a story about the Runaway Scrape in Texas and discovered Three-Legged Willie's statue on the town square in Georgetown. As a legend, as is with all folklore, the account of Sam Bass' life is as varied as there are books written about him and his exploits in the late 1800s. Sam Bass and his gang held up two stagecoaches while in Deadwood, South Dakota in 1877. Sam had a fling with Calamity Jane and sat in the same chair Wild Bill Hickok sat before being shot in a poker game holding a Dead Man's Hand, Aces and Eights. Such a hand was said to have been held by Wild Bill Hickok, a lawman, and gunfighter and good friend of Sam Bass. In the fall of 1877, Sam Bass and his Horse Marines robbed the eastbound Union Pacific passenger train and came away with over $60,000 in twenty-dollar gold pieces. After a successful robbery, they split up into pairs and went in all directions. Some were caught. Bass was an excellent transformist and disguised himself as a poor farmer and made his way back to Denton County, Texas, with his share of the gold. In the springtime of 1878, Sam and his gang robbed four trains within twenty miles of Dallas. Word was sent to Governor Hubbard that something needed to be done. The bandits became the object of a spirited chase across North Texas by reward-seeking citizens and a specialized company of Texas Rangers headed by Junius Peak. Follow the life story of Sam Bass from his childhood days to his last days in Round Rock, Texas, on July 21, 1878. Even though this notorious outlaw spent less than a week in this small community, his short visit put the town on world atlases. He also had a major street named after him. It wasn't only a few years ago the community got together and named a boulevard after Deputy A. W. Grimes, the man Sam Bass was accused of killing in 1878. Unlike John Wesley Hardin, Bass had no notches on his gun handle and once joked about selling his revolver for money.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They say everything is bigger in Texas, and the Lone Star State can certainly boast of immense ranches, vast oil fields, enormous cowboy hats, and larger-than-life heroes. Among the greatest of the latter are the iconic Texas Rangers, a service that has existed, in one form or another, since 1823. Established in Waco in 1968, the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum continues to honor these legendary symbols of Texas and the American West. While upholding a proud heritage of duty and sacrifice, even men who wear the cinco peso badge can have their own champions. Thirty-one individuals—whose lives span more than two centuries—have been enshrined in the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame. In The Ranger Ideal Volume 2: Texas Rangers in the Hall of Fame, 1874-1930, Darren L. Ivey presents capsule biographies of the twelve inductees who served Texas in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Ivey begins with John B. Jones, who directed his Rangers through their development from state troops to professional lawmen; then covers Leander H. McNelly, John B. Armstrong, James B. Gillett, Jesse Lee Hall, George W. Baylor, Bryan Marsh, and Ira Aten—the men who were responsible for some of the Rangers’ most legendary feats. Ivey concludes with James A. Brooks, William J. McDonald, John R. Hughes, and John H. Rogers, the “Four Great Captains” who guided the Texas Rangers into the twentieth century.
