"I went into lots of fights by myself, and I came out by myself, too!" said Captain Manuel T. "Lone Wolf" Gonzaullas of the Texas Rangers. In this lively biography, Brownson Malsch describes Gonzaullas’s career, first as a major in the Mexican Army and then as an agent of the U.S. Treasury Department, before he joined the Rangers in 1920. Although trained as an "old-style" Texas Ranger, Gonzaullas was an early advocate of scientific crime-detection methods and was instrumental in setting up the state’s first modern crime-detection facility. His many cases included the Santa Claus bank robbery in Cisco, the famous courtroom burning and lynching in Sherman, the race riots in Beaumont, and the Phantom Killer episode near Texarkana. Following his retirement in 1951, Gonzaullas developed a career as a Hollywood technical adviser.
Illustrated with many photographs of Gonzaullas, his associates, and his weaponry, this edition also includes a new introduction by Texas Ranger historian Harold J. Weiss, Jr.

Indianola is about the events as they occurred in chronological order. The chronological method enables the reader to become immersed in the evolving life of the port and see those events through the eyes of the residents there, who knew not what the outcome would be---hurricane destruction and abandonment. Neglected, even overlooked, by historians in this century,Indianolamust be restored to her rightful place in the annals of Texas. The eyes of Texas must be refocused on the vastly important role she played in its development as Republic and State.
