Description
Texas Ranger Captain William L. Wright is a biography that explores the life and career of a man born to be a lawman. With a lineage steeped in tradition, Wright's path was clear: he would follow in the footsteps of his relatives who had served as Rangers before the Civil War. Wright's own journey took him from working as a cowboy and farmer to becoming a deputy sheriff and eventually a Texas Ranger. He battled mobs, policed feuds, and won gunfights, but it wasn't until he left the Rangers that he found a better salary as a sheriff. Wright's time in office was marked by his commitment to keeping the peace during the so-called Bandit Wars and his ability to survive violent confrontations. Throughout his career, Wright rose through the ranks, becoming a captain of the Ranger Force and serving under seven governors. His legacy has been recognized with induction into the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame, alongside other notable leaders in the history of the force.
