Known by the Rangers as \"The Book,\" the list provided a quick reference by county of persons wanted, their crimes, and often a brief physical description of the fugitive. Ranger Sergeant James Buchanan Gillett, who had joined the Rangers in 1876 and quickly distinguished himself before leaving the Rangers in 1882 to become City Marshal of El Paso and later sheriff of Brewster and Presidio counties, had his copy of \"The Book\" bound along with blank notebook paper into a buckled leather case to carry with him in his saddlebags for quick reference while on the move. Gillett made penciled entries whenever a fugitive was killed or captured; in the index by the entry for John Wesley Hardin, for example, he wrote \"in the pen.\" On the blank notebook pages Gillett listed and described numerous other fugitives from justice, including Sam Bass and his gang. Now proudly owned by the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame in Waco, Gillett's personal copy of \"The Book\" and his handwritten notebook annotations provide a fascinating glimpse into the life of a Texas Ranger and the state of \"law \u0026amp; order\" in Texas in the 19th century.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A foreword by Michael D. Morrison, Mayor of the City of Waco, places The List and James B. Gillett into historical perspective. Accurately reproduced along with the illustrations of reward posters, Gillett's calling cards, and other ephemera found tucked into his personal copy of \"The Book,\" Fugitives from Justice is an important contribution to the history of the Texas Rangers and of Texas.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49945467289873,"sku":"CIN1880510383G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1880510383.jpg?v=1763479946"},{"product_id":"fugitives-from-justice-book-james-b-gillett-9781880510377","title":"Fugitives from Justice","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50392274534673,"sku":"CIN1880510375A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1880510375.jpg?v=1750866926"},{"product_id":"six-years-with-the-texas-rangers-book-james-b-gillett-9780984737253","title":"Six Years With the Texas Rangers","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51010696118545,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51010700050705,"sku":"NIN9780984737253","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0984737251.jpg?v=1750981498"},{"product_id":"six-years-with-the-texas-rangers-1875-1881-book-james-b-gillett-9781602067356","title":"Six Years with the Texas Rangers, 1875-1881","description":"The Texas Rangers are one of the most storied law enforcement agencies in the world. Nearly two centuries old, its reputation and mythology was solidified in the post-Civil War era, when it was responsible for the capture of numerous criminals-such as the notorious criminal Sam Bass-and the final defeat of the Apache Indians in Texas territory. This is the classic account of those years, by Ranger JAMES BUCHANAN GILLETT (1856-1937), an essential document of how the Rangers operated by someone who was there. Like the best rip-roaring adventure fiction, Gillett relates tales of: . the Mason County War . the Horrell-Higgins feud . Sam Bass and his train robber gang . the Salt Lake War . treacherous braves, a faithful dog, and a murder . the last fight between Rangers and Apaches . and much more.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51039687377169,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51039690883345,"sku":"NIN9781602067356","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/160206735X.jpg?v=1751408789"},{"product_id":"l-aumone-edition1-book-james-b-gillett-9789357950503","title":"L'Aumone (Edition1)","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51088710697233,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51088713711889,"sku":"NIN9789357950503","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52109999669521,"sku":"GOR013850677","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52656763011345,"sku":"NLS9789357950503","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9357950508.jpg?v=1751066131"},{"product_id":"six-years-with-the-texas-rangers-1875-to-1881-book-james-b-gillett-9781556137426","title":"Six Years with the Texas Rangers, 1875 to 1881","description":"Along with some general Texas Ranger history, the author recalls his first brush with Indians, the Mason County War, the Horrell-Higgins Feud, Sam Bass and his robber gang, the Salt Lake War, his first fight with Apaches, scouting in Mexico, some undesirable recruits in his own Ranger unit, and the last fight between the Rangers and Apaches.
