Synopsis
The feuds raging in Texas in the nineteenth century bound in acrimony not only families but special-interest groups that, feeling intolerably wronged, sought "extralegal justice" when they believed the law would give them no satisfaction. In I'll Die Before I'll Run the prominent historian C. L. Sonnichsen leaves no doubt that bad blood so often turned into bloody feuds in Texas because there the folk law of the frontier was reinforced by the unwritten code of honor of the South, and because everybody in Texas went armed. Although the Regulators and Moderators warred in eastern Texas in the 1840s, the really big feuds were ignited by the Civil War and flamed until late in the century, when the Texas Rangers began to put them out. In rich circumstantial detail Sonnichsen describes the most famous of the conflagrations stretching from the "sorrowful sixties" to the "nervous nineties."

Item description from the seller

- r***a (455)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe book arrived fast in a double foam envelope which in this case was completely sufficient to protect it from damage. It was exactly as described in a clean and unmarked condition exactly as described. This was a great price for a book of this fine quality and I could not be more pleased. Based on this experience I would look forward to buying from this seller anytime.
- 1***l (260)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseItem came exactly as it was shown in the pictures, and it was shipped in good time. The packaging was superb and neat. The seller was kind to include a 'bonus' item and it was the first time I've seen something different that most eBay sellers would provide, like a thank you note, bookmarks and coupons for potential discounts. I appreciate said bonus item. Besides that, this was a good find since I'm a sucker for older Great Courses materials. Great seller!
- u***j (2631)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAs a long-time but not native resident of San Angelo, I had not seen this book before. Book contained many photos of a time before I came to town. Everything about the sale was positive, especially that the book was as advertised, arrived here on time, and was packaged to prevent damage in the mails. Thanks for a nice transaction.
