Publisher's summary

Ranger's Trail takes listeners back to 1874 for a rousing tale of the legendary Texas Rangers. The Rangers are reorganizing, and they badly want Rusty Shannon to re-enlist. But Rusty has plans for a quiet, married life. Then a terrible tragedy destroys his world, and sends him down the treacherous trail of revenge.

Seven-time Spur Award winner Elmer Kelton is a brilliant chronicler of the Wild West.

Critic reviews

"A master storyteller who offers more than just blood and gunsmoke. The right blend of action, drama, romance, humor, and suspense makes this a handsome addition to his ongoing saga of the Old West." (Publishers Weekly)

Great Texas Western Story

Great story about post Civil War Texas written by a native Texan. Elmer Kelton is one of the best western writers of all time.
