Description
When his picture appeared on the cover of Texas Monthly, Joaquin Jackson became the icon of the modern Texas Rangers. Nick Nolte modeled his character in the movie Extreme Prejudice on him. Jackson even had a speaking part of his own in The Good Old Boys with Tommy Lee Jones. But the role that Jackson has always played the best is that of the man who wears the silver badge cut from a Mexican cinco peso coin -- a working Texas Ranger. Legend says that one Ranger is all it takes to put down lawlessness and restore the peace -- one riot, on Ranger. In this adventure-filled memoir, Joaquin Jackson recalls what it was like to be the Ranger who respnded when riots threatened, violence erupted, and criminals needed to be brought to justice across a wide swath of the Texas-Mexico border from 1966 to 1993. - Jacket flap.
Description
Former Texas Ranger H. Joaquin Jackson starts off his memoir with the story of the toughest moment in his life, watching his son stand trial for murder. That case wasn't the only one that was personal for the Ranger, since he considered himself a part of the community he watched over.
