Book Description

Excerpt from The Life Record of H. W. Graber: A Terry Texas Ranger, 1861-1865; Sixty-Two Years in Texas The purpose of this narrative is to hand down to my children, and to present to my friends, an intimate, personal account of a life which has not been without interesting episodes, and which has been lived during the most eventful period that this Nation will, in all probability, ever know. Though a large portion of my story will deal with incidents which occurred during the great sectional strife of the sixties, it is not intended as a history of that great calamity, but is meant, simply, to be an account of incidents with which the writer was personally associated. The Great Strife which so nearly disrupted our country is over. For many years we of the South have been dwelling amicably with those of the North - this is as it should be. We are, united, the great est country on the face of God's footstool. And to both the North and the South belongs the credit.
