   It is, at the very least, an account by a well-known Ranger, and the   
   human comes through, warts and all. Jackson documents one of the periods   
   of change in the Ranger Service that makes it necessary to read from a   
   variety of eras to gain an understanding of the evolution of the   
   organization and it's people. Compare to John Hughes' Border Boss for   
   the first half of the century.
