Hi all,
I just received this cover design for the next book in the e-mail today. I think it looks pretty good. What do you think?
The book should be ready by sometime next month -- hopefully. This is the continuation of a story about the life and times of a Texas Ranger company, a group of men who loved life, who loved adventure, and found it all from West Texas to Eastern New Mexico.
Being a Texas Ranger was not a job. Being a Texas Ranger was a way of life. Being a Texas Ranger meant that you were part of a big family—a family that lived together, ate together, sweated together, groused together, and fought together.
The United States went to war with Mexico, and the settlers went to war with the Indians, everyone trying to get more real estate. This is also a story about the noble natives who were chased off their land in the name of “progress” and “manifest destiny”. Whose progress and whose destiny?
Sample readers comments (used by permission) sent by e-mail:
"The best read presently is Ken Briden's books on Texas. Ken's keen sense of humor is mixed in gently with marvelous history of Texas and a good story line. I liked it as well as James Michener's TEXAS. Ken’s book is better written, easier reading, more fun, and probably more factual." Jan Minter, Richardson, Texas
“Any student of history or genealogy will devour this trilogy just as I have the first two books by Ken Briden. He clearly, deftly, and without apology represents both the ‘good’, the ‘bad’ and the ‘ugly’ of being an immigrant, an American, and a Texan during this period.”. Col D.J. Paul, USAFR (ret), Fremont, California

God bless,
Ken
