Book excerpt: Andrew Jackson "Jack" Sowell (1848-1921) came from a family of warriors. John Newton Sowell, his grandfather, who fought in the War of 1812, came to Texas in 1829 and was one of the founders of Gonzales, Texas. Jack's father, Asa J. L. Sowell, fought in the Mexican and Civil Wars, and served as a Texas Ranger. Andrew Jackson Sowell (1815-1883), Jack's uncle, fought in the Texas War of Independence, the Mexican War, and the Civil War and served as a Texas Rangers. As a young and inexperienced Texas Ranger, Jack Sowell fought many battles against the Kiowa and Comanche in northwest Texas during the Wichita campaign of 1870-1871. By 1871, he was already writing his first book, Rangers and Pioneers of Texas (1884). Rangers and Pioneers of Texas tells the stories of the settlers who experienced violent, and often lethal, clashes with American Indians. Sowell was not a pedestrian author: every story is based on his experience as a ranger or the oral accounts of people he interviewed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the first pioneers set off on their voyage to settle Texas they knew their lives would not be easy. Indian attacks, Mexican invasions, murderous bandits and the persistent threat of disease and famine plagued these early settlers. In the first third of the book A. J. Sowell gathers numerous first-hand accounts to construct a history of this area in the mid-nineteenth century, when life was tough and often short. Particularly focusing on the attacks by Native Americans, Sowell examines how early settlers defended themselves in ad hoc groups and volunteer companies. Then Sowell examines the advent of the Republic of Texas in the aftermath of the Texas Revolution. Many of Texas' most famous events are covered in this section, drawn from eyewitness accounts and sometimes seen by Sowell himself, including the Battle of Concepcion, the Siege of the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto. Part three of Sowell's work covers his own fascinating involvement with the Texas Rangers, including the Wichita Campaign in northwest Texas where he endured a brutally cold winter and participated in a number of deadly fights with Native Americans. Andrew Jackson Sowell was first of his family to be born in Texas after his relations moved to the area in 1830. His grandfather was involved in the Texas Revolution, as was his uncle, who served in the Alamo garrison but departed to obtain supplies prior to its fall. From 1870 November until 1871 June, he was a Texas Ranger in Company F of the Frontier Battalion, serving under Capt. David P. Baker. Drawing on his own experiences as a Texas Ranger, events in his relatives' lives, family history, and interviews, Sowell wrote numerous books and articles about the early history of Texas. His books include Rangers and Pioneers of Texas, Life of Big Foot Wallace, Early Settlers and Indian Fighters of Southwest Texas, and History of Fort Bend County. Rangers and Pioneers of Texas was published in 1884. Sowell died in 1921.
