“Sadler is fortunate to have a descendant who cared enough about his forefather to write a good story and a good history book of Texas.”––Jerry Turner, The Mexia Daily News, September 2000. "This book is an absolute must for Texas historians, whether your interest is Texas Rangers in particular or Texas history in general."––Bobby Nieman, Texas Ranger Dispatch Magazine, Winter 2005 “Taming
Texas is a fascinating history of Texas as revealed through
the biography of William Turner Sadler (1797-1884). Sadler was one
of the leading pioneers of 19th century Texas and participated in
most of the major events of the period. He migrated to Texas from
Georgia in 1835 to become a farmer. He soon found himself in command
of the ranger company that built Fort Houston, served as a private
in the battle of San Jacinto, was active in quelling the Cordova
Rebellion, and became a leader in the campaign against Chief Bowles
and the Cherokees. Eventually Sadler served as a representative
in both the Republic Congress and the Texas state legislature. During
the Civil War, at the age of 66, he served in Terrell’s Texas
Cavalry. “Highly recommended reading, Taming Texas is informative, engaging, offers a unique perspective on Texas history, and is enhanced with photographs, roster lists, and line-drawn illustrations.”––The Midwest Book Review, November 2000.
