| Summary | "Terry's Texas Rangers" by L. B. Giles is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the experiences of the Texas cavalry regiment known as the Terry Rangers during the American Civil War. The narrative captures the formation, battles, and dynamics of the regiment, highlighting the personal accounts and reflections of its soldiers, particularly focusing on their bravery and trials during the conflict. The opening of the book introduces the author’s motivations for compiling the history of the Terry Rangers, detailing their assembly and organization prior to the onset of the war. It illustrates the eagerness of the men, many of whom came from distinguished backgrounds, to serve in the Confederate cavalry. As they prepared for war, they faced rigorous entry requirements and left their homes amid emotional farewells from family and friends. The initial chapters set the stage for the regiment's military campaigns, showcasing their determination and the camaraderie among the soldiers, while also foreshadowing the hardships and casualties they were about to encounter in battle.
