Foreword to the 1993 Edition
Ernest Wallace did not consider Ranald S. Mackenzie on the Texas Frontier to be his best book, but there is no doubt that the action-filled narrative represents Ernest Wallace at his best. Painstakingly researched and highly detailed, this brief study of one phase of the life of the dashing cavalry officer not only documents Mackenzie's conquest of the Southern Plains but also provides a glimpse into the short, colorful, and unusual life of Ranald Slidell Mackenzie.
