Based on the author's family history, Call To Glory, The Life & Times of a Texas Ranger traces the saga of the Wiley brothers, three fiercely proud Texans whose destinies ran through the most tumultuous times in American history. From joining ranks with fellow Texans in the Civil War to donning the silver badge of the Ranger to protect a still deadly frontier, Call To Glory, The Life & Times of a Texas Ranger recounts a gripping story of justice, romance and honor.

This is the story of three brothers from Texas, their experiences during the Civil War and the hardship and tragedies they endured in the aftermath of the war -- problems that did not go away with the surrender at Appomattox. This is also a story of the commitment and sacrifices of the women in their lives. Women who shared the trials of war while waiting for the men they loved to return -- fair and tender ladies who prove as tough as the Texas frontier.

Fresh from a war with Mexico, having won their independence and gained statehood, Texans developed a strong sense of pride. Infused with the blood and honor of Jim Bowie, Davy Crockett and Sam Houston -- Texans became tough, hell bent for leather men with a strong sense of justice. They founded the Texas Rangers to bring law and order to the Texas frontier.. Leroy Wiley was such a man.
