520 8 |a Annotation  |b "I went into lots of fights by myself, & I came out by myself, too!" said Captain Manuel T. Gonzuallas of the Texas Rangers. Hence his nickname. In "LONE WOLF" GONZUALLAS, TEXAS RANGER, Brownson Malsch describes Gonzuallas's career, first as a major in the Mexican Army & 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, Gonzuallas was an early advocate of scientific crime-detection methods & 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 & lynching in Sherman, the race riots in Beaumont, & the Phantom Killer episode near Texarkana. Following his retirement in 1951, Gonzuallas developed a career as a Hollywood technical adviser. Illustrated with many photographs of Gonzuallas, his associates, & his weaponry, this edition also includes a new introduction by Texas Ranger historian Harold J. Weiss, Jr. "Malsch's book takes Gonzuallas from the cradle to the grave in as much detail as is possible & does it in a lively, well-turned, easy to read style." - TEXAS FREEMASON. Brownson Malsch, a former journalist with the S. P. BULLETIN, is the author of numerous magazine & newspaper articles and of INDIANOLA: THE MOTHER OF WESTERN TEXAS, which received the Summerfield G. Roberts Award. Mary Nell Garrison, who wrote the foreword, was the wife of Homer Garrison, Director of the Texas Department of Public Safety. Harold J. Weiss, Jr., is Professor Emeritus of History, Government, & Criminal Justice at Jamestown Community College, Jamestown, New York
