The Complete Josiah Wolfe, Texas Ranger Series
(2025)(A book in the Josiah Wolfe, Texas Ranger series)
An omnibus of novels by Larry D Sweazy
From the blood Josiah Wolfe spilled during the Civil War to the loss of his beloved wife in childbirth and his three daughters, who were taken by the flu, Josiah Wolfe thought he had seen enough death for one lifetime. Now, with an infant son to raise on his own and a heavy heart, he’s joining the new Texas Rangers Frontier Battalion at the urging of his former captain, Hiram Fikes. Josiah’s adventures with the Texas Rangers takes him across the great state of Texas from Corpus Christi to Austin, east to the piney woods, and beyond. In his many rides, Josiah is there for the Rangers’ first encounter with the Kiowa, and comes face to face with the notorious cattle rustler, Juan Cortina. This is a story about one man in the West, battling the elements and fighting against the wrongs he encounters as he tries to find his place in the world and do right by his son.
Atmospheric, character-rich stories mixed with historical and geographic detail, the Josiah Wolfe novels have been called ‘the thinking man’s Westerns,’ won numerous awards, and continues to attract new fans with plenty of action, heart, and romance of the West.
‘Josiah Wolfe is an American original, created by an American original.’ – Loren D. Estleman, five-time Spur award-winning author
‘What sets Sweazy apart are his interior insights rounding each character with layered motivations for choices made at any particular moment. His poetic bent lifts descriptions beyond intellect into the heart.’ -- Rita Kohn, Nuvo
‘The reader feels as if he is right there, fighting the dust, heat, flies, and fear, riding into the thick of battle with the Rangers. And Sweazy knows his horses, and the bond and friendship many men forged with their mounts. A gut-wrenching scene between a Ranger and his shot and dying horse is one of the most effective written passages I have ever read, completely true-to-life and emotionally draining.’ – Roundup magazine
