SAM
BASS & GANG
by Rick
Miller
The exploits
of the outlaw Sam Bass led to his legendary
status of an amiable rogue who took on the
widely disliked railroad corporations and who
followed the code of the outlaw by refusing
to give up his companions to the pursuing
lawmen. Beginning his life of crime by
robbing stagecoaches in the Black Hills of
the Dakota Territory, Sam Bass and his gang
were soon holding up trains in Nebraska and
Texas.
The chase for
Bass in 1878 throughout Texas was unequaled
in the state's history and ended with the
famous gunfight on the streets of Round Rock,
Texas. Sam Bass & Gang cuts through the
mythical to set the record straight. Years of
research through the newspapers and public
records of several states, through the
national archives, through private
collections, through the records of the Texas
Rangers, and through all of the extant
primary and secondary source material have
enabled author Rick Miller to portray the
history of Sam Bass accurately, but in so
doing his narrative loses none of the drama
of a stirring and exciting tale. This volume
is destined to become the standard reference
work for the legendary outiaw.

TEXAS PHYSICIANS
1830-1915
Edited by R. Maurice Hood, M.D.
Introduction by T.R.
Fehrenbach
"It is
important that the stories of early Texas
doctors be told. They are a vital part of the
history of Texas and its society.... "T.R.
Fehrenbach The biographies of Texas' 19th
Century medical doctors reveal much more than
medical history; they chronicle the lives of
men whose influence in Texas extended far
beyond their medical practices. Here are the
biographies of nineteen men who played vital
roles not only in the medical health of
Texans but in the political and social
development of the state. The biographies are
written by physicians.
