As Reviewed: "Anyone with an interest in the Texas Republic, or in the nature of frontier warfare in the early nineteenth century, would want to have this book on the shelf. It will also be a gold mine for Texas genealogists. There is rich material here for the future social historian in revealing the rich ethnic mix among the Texan frontier fighters. The author gives a remarkably complete account of the use of Shawnee, Cherokee, and Tonkawa scouting companies by Texan forces on the frontier." Professor James E. Crisp, North Carolina State University "A remarkable collection of names and records of law enforcement on the Texas frontier that will serve as a fine resource for those doing research." Paul N. Spellman, Wharton Junior College Contains maps, photos and dozens of muster rolls, many never before published! Appendices include ranger casualties on the Texas frontiers, 1835-1839. Savage Frontier Volume II chronicles two more explosive years on the early frontiers of Texas. Volunteer ranger companies, the Texas Militia, and even a new Frontier Regiment of soldiers were employed to combat the rise in Indian hostilities against the settlements. All major frontier actions of this period are covered in new detail, including: 1838 Cordova Rebellion, the Kickapoo War, Battle Creek Fight (Surveyors' Fight), Morgan Massacre and Bryant's Defeat, 1839 Mill Creek Fight, Battle of Brushy Creek, Bird's Creek Fight, 1839 Cherokee War (Battle of the Neches), and the first Indian Fights of legendary Ranger Jack Hays.
