"Buck Barry arrived in Texas in 1845, age 24, on the second steamboat to ever dock at Jefferson. He was the first sheriff of Navarro County, and then participated in Indian fights, vigilante episodes, and other forms of community service. There is not a word of self-praise in his journal. Modern readers may not find Buck Barry's attitudes and views entirely lovable, especially concerning Indians. Editor James K. Greer said 'old Buck had some things to say that just couldn't be loosed on the world.' " --A.C. Greene, THE 50 BEST BOOKS ABOUT TEXAS
