The ten companies of the Terry Texas Rangers were officially activated into the Confederate Army as the 8th Texas Cavalry Regiment, but throughout the Civil War they were known by the name of their first commander, Col. Benjamin F. Terry, who fell at the battle of Woodsonville. In over 200 battles including Shiloh, Bardstown, Perryville, Murfreesboro, Chichamauga and Knoxville, they gave credence to Gen. John B. Hood's remark that there was "no body of cavalry superior." When the South finally surrendered, there were scarcely enough men left to form one company. This volume of vivid descriptions, of the first- hand experiences of men in the ranks throughout the duration of the war, makes available three of the rarest pieces of Texana concerning the Terry Texas Rangers' role in the Civil War.
The introduction alone is worth the price of the book . . . a valuable addition to the collection of Civil War buffs and of interest to all who love a good story with plenty of action . . . these gripping firsthand accounts are the voice of truth.

Terry Texas Ranger Trilogy: Reminiscences of the Terry Rangers, Terry's Texas Rangers, and the Diary of Ephraim Shelby Dodd
A brilliant​ly conceived book that not only answers the question of who Johnny Ringo was - and wasn't - as well as anyone ever will unless his family releases the records his family has been hiding and/or destroying; but this book also covers the entire history of how he became famous only long after his death.
And it is equally as valuable in it's handicapping of Western writers and historians as to their reliability - along with his exposure of those who tend to lack honesty and those who fully make up 100 per cent of everything they write.
His one fault being his tendency to not sufficiently criticize the Arizona Historians who blatantly hide and fabricate the truth when it comes to the fight between the outsider​s - led by Wyatt Earp - and the home team of dishonest law enforcement officers and cattle & horse thieves and stage robbers and murderers.
Because this was written back when writers tended to he more civil with each other.
And my closing comment is - the more you know - or want to know about this period - the more you will treasure this book. Because John Ringo is only one of the books many fascinating characters.
