George Washington Arrington: Civil War Spy, Texas Ranger, Sheriff, and Rancher: A Biography - Jerry Sinise

Descriere George Washington Arrington: Civil War Spy, Texas Ranger, Sheriff, and Rancher: A Biography - Jerry Sinise

\n \nThe life and exploits of George Washington Arrington were remarkable. Soldier, spy, Texas Ranger, Texas sheriff, rancher--he was all of these and his life spanned two of the most tempestuous times of this nation's history--the War between the States and the passing of the western frontier.\n \nAuthor Jerry Sinise recounts the life of adventure that began when Arrington joined the Confederate Army at sixteen years of age, through the dangerous Indian and outlaw years of the Texas frontier, into the settlement years of the Texas Panhandle, and into the 20th century as a Canadian, Texas, rancher.\n \nSinise spent more than four years tracking down bits and pieces of Arrington's life. Some of his more dramatic adventures have appeared in the popular Western magazines and a book or two, but much of what he has included in this book is original material, never before published. \n
