Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'The Last of the California Rangers' is a compelling historical biography that chronicles the life and adventures of Captain William J. Howard, the final surviving member of the legendary state-appointed law enforcement group. Set against the turbulent backdrop of the California Gold Rush, the narrative provides a vivid perspective on the pursuit of the notorious outlaw Joaquin Murrieta and his gang. Beyond the thrill of the chase, the work serves as a rich social history of 19th-century California, detailing the transition from a lawless frontier to an organized state.Readers are introduced to the rugged realities of pioneer life, the complexities of frontier justice, and the diverse cast of characters who shaped the American West. Through Howard's recollections, the book preserves a vital piece of Americana, offering an intimate look at the men tasked with bringing order to a rapidly expanding and often violent territory.

Pages unmarked. xix, 299 p., ill., 21 cm. Captain William J. Howard was breveted captain in the Mexican war. He was one of the twenty men appointed in 1853 by Gov. Bigler to suppress the lawlessness then rife. These men, later known as the California Rangers, were selected by a special act of the legislature empowering the governor to appoint this civil guard. It was at this time that the famous bandit, Joaquin Murietta, was terrorizing the southern part of the State, and things had come to such a pass that it became absolutely necessary that Murietta be captured. A reward of $3,00 was offered for the body of the Mexican desperado. Murietta, as Capt. Howard tells the story, had become the leader of a band which stopped at nothing. Several murders were charged against him; he was accused of horse stealing and other serious offenses in the category of crime were chalked up against him.…
