Book excerpt: "Hays's unbridled bravery was of such notoriety...a plucky warrior confirmed: 'No afraid to go to hell by himself." -Texas Rangers: Lives, Legend, and Legacy (2017) "John Coffee Hays...would shape the image of the early Texas Rangers." - The Texas Rangers: Wearing the Cinco Peso (2008) "A life-size diorama in the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame at Waco...depicts Hays alone atop Enchanted Rock fighting off hordes of converging Comanches." -Texas Rangers: Lives, Legend, and Legacy (2017) This book is a short account of adventures of John Coffee Hays (1817 - 1883), a famous captain in the Texas Rangers and a military officer of the Republic of Texas. Hays served in several armed conflicts from 1836-1848, including against the Comanche people in Texas and during the Mexican-American War. Hays later joined the migration to California, leading a party of a party of Forty Niners from New York that traveled in wagons to California from Texas. Hays was elected sheriff of San Francisco County in 1850. In 1913, history writer Charles Haven Ladd Johnston (1877-1943) would publish the book "Famous Frontiersmen and Heroes of the Border," which included a chapter on John Coffee Hays. It is this 40-page chapter on Hays that has been republished here for the convenience of the reader interested in Hays, who may not wish to read the entire lengthy book. Hays emigrated in 1837 to San Antonio. Here he had several severe skirmishes with the Indians, and was engaged as surveyor on the frontier. In those times of peril, when Texas needed the assistance of every soldier, Hays could not long remain unnoticed. He was first created captain of a scouting party, and soon after superintendent of the entire border, with the rank of major. Desperate, and sometimes personal encounters with the Indians, soon spread his reputation, and before the commencement of our war with Mexico, he was regarded by the Indians as superior to common men-the bearer of a charmed life. The following description of the celebrated partisan is given by his friend Reid: "So many were the stories that went the rounds in camp, of his perilous expeditions, his wild and daring adventures, and his cool and determined bravery, that when we saw the man who held such sway over his fellow-beings, we were first inclined to believe that we had been deceived. But when we saw him afterwards in the field, we then knew him to be the 'intrepid Hays.'"

Ford stayed to participate in virtually every major event in Texas history during the next sixty years.

Stephen Oates has edited Ford’s memoirs to produce a clear and vigorous personal history of Texas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award* *A New York Times Notable Book* *Winner of the Texas Book Award and the Oklahoma Book Award* This New York Times bestseller and stunning historical account of the forty-year battle between Comanche Indians and white settlers for control of the American West “is nothing short of a revelation…will leave dust and blood on your jeans” (The New York Times Book Review). Empire of the Summer Moon spans two astonishing stories. The first traces the rise and fall of the Comanches, the most powerful Indian tribe in American history. The second entails one of the most remarkable narratives ever to come out of the Old West: the epic saga of the pioneer woman Cynthia Ann Parker and her mixed-blood son Quanah, who became the last and greatest chief of the Comanches. Although readers may be more familiar with the tribal names Apache and Sioux, it was in fact the legendary fighting ability of the Comanches that determined when the American West opened up. Comanche boys became adept bareback riders by age six; full Comanche braves were considered the best horsemen who ever rode. They were so masterful at war and so skillful with their arrows and lances that they stopped the northern drive of colonial Spain from Mexico and halted the French expansion westward from Louisiana. White settlers arriving in Texas from the eastern United States were surprised to find the frontier being rolled backward by Comanches incensed by the invasion of their tribal lands. The war with the Comanches lasted four decades, in effect holding up the development of the new American nation. Gwynne’s exhilarating account delivers a sweeping narrative that encompasses Spanish colonialism, the Civil War, the destruction of the buffalo herds, and the arrival of the railroads, and the amazing story of Cynthia Ann Parker and her son Quanah—a historical feast for anyone interested in how the United States came into being. Hailed by critics, S. C. Gwynne’s account of these events is meticulously researched, intellectually provocative, and, above all, thrillingly told. Empire of the Summer Moon announces him as a major new writer of American history.
