Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Box F Ranch foreman, Hack Taylor, was getting settled in his cabin for the night when he heard a voice out of the darkness. A former employee, J. T Finley, straggled in, hatless and afoot, announcing he'd been accused of a murder he didn't commit. Hack vowed to do what was needed to get him out of his predicament and offered him a job at the ranch. However J. T. refused the offer, afraid the lawmen would also arrest Hack for aiding a murderer. Instead, he decided to hide out in a line shack near the ranch. But when the other two ranch hands ran into a posse looking for J. T. in the nearby town of Sycamore Springs, Hack and Box F owner Wilson Forrest decided to bring him back to the ranch. They discovered, however, that the posse had been there first-and had lynched the young cowhand. The two made it their mission to get to the bottom of why he was lynched instead of brought to trial. But they knew they couldn't do it alone. It took the help of two of the most famous Texas Rangers in the state. And together they set out to seek justice in the cross timbers.

Book excerpt: In the fall of 1868, eighteen-year-old Aaron LaCroix leaves his family homestead on the Mississippi bound for adventure. At his Army post in the far northwest of Indian Territory as a part of the Seventh Cavalry, he makes the acquaintance of Reid McKinstry, a lanky teenage Texan whose outgoing personality provides a foil for LaCroix’s taciturn one. Over the course of their journeys, LaCroix and McKinstry encounter renegades and pursue wanted men; they drive cattle and work as bounty hunters. Eventually they are sent on a special mission that culminates with a heroic act for which they will always be remembered, and come into contact with someone they did not expect from LaCroix’s past.

Download or read book United States Military Justice in the Civil War written by R. Gregory Lande and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2024-09-16 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite its relative invisibility to the public, the administration of military justice during the Civil War played a vital role in maintaining the discipline necessary for Union military success. While some scholars have criticized the Union military courts as arbitrary and excessively harsh, others have defended it as a necessary means of maintaining order in the face of unprecedented challenges faced by the Union. Drawing on extensive primary research, this history presents a compelling narrative based on a statistical analysis of 5,000 Union military trials, court records, historical legal publications, and insights from contemporary historians. This work analyzes the relationship between alcohol misuse and misconduct, covers the differing approaches to sexual misconduct across the services, and exposes the uneven and sometimes unfair application of military justice. Offering a balanced perspective on the struggle between maintaining discipline and protecting the legal rights of service members, this history is the first of its kind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A thoughtful, thorough, and updated account of this bio-region” from the author of From Sail to Steam: Four Centuries of Texas Maritime History, 1500-1900 (Great Plains Research). Winner, Friends of the Dallas Public Library Award, Texas Institute of Letters, 2001 A complex mosaic of post oak and blackjack oak forests interspersed with prairies, the Cross Timbers cover large portions of southeastern Kansas, eastern Oklahoma, and north central Texas. Home to indigenous peoples over several thousand years, the Cross Timbers were considered a barrier to westward expansion in the nineteenth century, until roads and railroads opened up the region to farmers, ranchers, coal miners, and modern city developers, all of whom changed its character in far-reaching ways. This landmark book describes the natural environment of the Cross Timbers and interprets the role that people have played in transforming the region. Richard Francaviglia opens with a natural history that discusses the region’s geography, geology, vegetation, and climate. He then traces the interaction of people and the landscape, from the earliest indigenous inhabitants and European explorers to the developers and residents of today’s ever-expanding cities and suburbs. Many historical and contemporary maps and photographs illustrate the text. “This is the most important, original, and comprehensive regional study yet to appear of the amazing Cross Timbers region in North America . . . It will likely be the standard benchmark survey of the region for quite some time.” —John Miller Morris, Assistant Professor of Geography, University of Texas at San Antonio
