History of the Regulators and Moderators and the 1841-42 Shelby County War and Some of the Indian Troubles in the Early Republic of Texas

"History of the Regulators and Moderators and the 1841-42 Shelby County War and Some of the Indian Troubles in the Early Republic of Texas" by John Middleton, a Texas Ranger Captain. It is an eyewitness account of some of the early history of Texas by an early pioneer. John Middleton was a Captain in the Sabine County Ranging Company. He gives a first-hand account of the Regulators and Moderators War in Shelby County as well as the ever present need to safeguard the homes, people, and livestock of the early settlers from the attacks of the various Indian Tribes in Texas. An interesting part of the romantic history of both the Texas Rangers, the state of Texas, and the men who forged Texas.
