Red Sky Morning

Red sky morning - the epic true story it Texas ranger company F by Joe Pappalardo

I had no idea about company F or what they did until I read this book. They were basically bounty hunters and used deadly force when necessary to keep law and order.

This book is the showdown between company F and the Conner family. Neighbors snitching and a group of men in over their heads made for a thriller read. 4 stars

The history of the Texas Rangers has long been one of a legacy. But they didn't always have the best reputations, and were not without scrapes and legal troubles.

This book follows Texas Ranger Company F, which was rather interesting on its own. There was a lot of history there, and many legal scrapes that the men found themselves in. I enjoyed the background that was given on each one, as much as was possible, and giving as much as they could without dropping anything that might be needed for drawing conclusions.

Overall, interesting book. There were a few places where I felt it bogged down a bit, but truly, it was enjoyable and kept me interested enough to keep reading and finish out the book. There were a few surprises in there, which I am not going to give away. Also, I found that some of the names were familiar to me from other areas of reading, or research that I had done for some of the courses that I am teaching.
