‘The Arizona Rangers’ is the first documented history of the Rangers ever published, and fills a sizeable void in the annals of Arizona Territory. Bill O’Neal’s enthusiasm for his subject and his respect for those remarkable men who wore the five-pointed star are apparent in every word of his thoroughly researched, well written manuscript. He has accurately portrayed the story of the Arizona Rangers against an authentic background of turn-of-the-century Arizona.
