Six Years with the Texas Rangers, 1875 to 1881 by James B. Gillett read by Various | Full Audio Book

[@davidctryon]

I see complaints about some readers. Libra Vox is always looking for volunteers. If you aren't trying to make it better, don't complain.

[@AB-kg6rk]

Libra Vox needs to have some kind of Q.C. for their narrators, some sound so bad, its funny.

A truly geat book - It was like you were there - absolutely amazing! Thanks for the upload!

[@dmcmac9619]

Thank you for this very real history of the wild west.

[@dmcmac9619]

This is amazing! Thank you so much! You kept me awake all night. Wow, the details of frontier life are incredible to hear in this fashion.

[@LibriVoxAudiobooks]

Glad you enjoyed it!

I'm really glad I decided to listen to the whole thing. It's actually really good though really sad at the same time. Such is history.

"Many politicians in Washington claimed that the Indians were causing no trouble at all; and that the raiders were white men dressed as Indians." The more things change....

@@matthewwhitton5720 There were no serial killers roaming through Texas in the 1800s except the Comanche, Kiowa-Apache and Lipan Apache. If you believe whites would dress up as lndians and kill people, you need to be fitted with a jacket that buckles in the back!

Outstanding description of the Texas Wild West ! Would make a great movie if done accurately and without political correctness ! Only MINOR critique is that it would have been better with the voice of only one reader as when you are hearing the book read and your imagination drifts into those days, you tend to associate the story teller of the book with the voice doing the reading. But when the voice changes ever chapter, sort of messes that up. But I thank all the volunteers who contributed to the reading of the book with their spare time and making it available ! Well worth listening !

"A man's got to know his limitations!" Much like myself, some of these folks have no business being audiobook narrators.

You realize they do this for free out of the kindness of their heart, right?

[@emadbagheri]

@@terrell07981 no they do this either to fulfill college/university requirements if they are young, or to satisfy their own needs/egos. I appreciate the ones who have linguistic and narration skills but I abhor those whose skills are clearly inadequate yet do the readings anyways.

@@terrell07981 I do read for myself, but when I want to listen to an audiobook I don't want it to be by someone stroking their ego when their skill is wanting, free or not. You wouldn't have me do dentistry on you even if it was free would you?

[@terrell07981]

@@emadbagheri then you shouldn't listen to anything by libryvox. All their readers are random. If you want to listen to a great reader you need to find something frank Muller did. He's the best I've ever heard. I believe he did the first three books in the vampire chronicles by Anne Rice. They are awesome. They are also here on KZbin if you want to listen to them.

[@ronaldronca6060]

What I find most intriguing with the early history of not only Texas but the entire southwest was the triangular existence of Native Americans, Mexicans and the United States. All three hated and waged a savage war on the others, using the aide of another against a 3rd. Each of the three accused the others of inhumane treatment, theft and innocent massacres. Fact is of the 3, only the Native Americans were justifiably in the right. With all respect to the Rangers, for they followed what they felt was right but no more than the Mexicans or Native Americans. In truth the rangers were least morally justified yet because of superior numbers and weaponry won out. The heroes were not just rangers but all those of each side who sacrificed their lives for what was right.

[@kennyg1358]

What does morality have to do with any of it? Might makes right is the rule of nature. Everything else is imagination.

[@sgtbma1]

The Apaches were merciless , remember they even butchered live cattle mired in mud . Bet you would would rather your family run into rangers instead of apaches.
