Very realistic history- well written

I have visited Austin Texas and got so much from that journey many years ago. This audiobook filled in a lot more knowledge about the state that I didn't know. I found this audiobook to be interesting.

Fascinating, balanced history of Texas

The heading, A Captivating Guide to the History of Texas and Texas Rangers” refers to Texas, but it fits for the audiobook itself — all 6 hrs and 27 mins of it — as well. It’s a real hoot of a voice.

Cool work, History of Texas and Texas Rangers

I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. It’s like bullet-point data instead of whole sections of information. It’s a genuine spark to help you venture out for more in-depth research.

Already love it and i just got started!

This is a definitive audiobook on the history of the Texas and Texas Rangers. It’s factual, well addressed, and has a surplus of historically relevant ideas. It’s exactly what I was seeking and will serve as an ongoing reference.

Fun with good history information.

I listen to these as fun and do not follow up with Google searches to verify the validity of the facts". So, I found this to be a well-created audiobook that I enjoyed listening for a carefree hobby from the solemnity of life.

Good for Yankee or Cally.

Well, this audible is okay for a "Yankee or Cally" that doesn't know anything about Texas but not for a Texan, well, it was somewhat disappointed, not many details.

Guide to the History

I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. It’s like bullet point realities rather of whole chapters of knowledge. It’s a good spark to assist you to venture out for more in-depth research.
