Trouble in Texas took on the epic proportions of the state itself in the hectic days after the Civil War. It was up to each person to right the wrongs done to them by others. Dr. C. L. Sonnichsen traces the workings of folk justice in ten incidents—the first and worst being the conflict between the Regulators and the Moderators. Here also are the Hoodoos, the Heel Flies, the Mob, the Boots, and the Sandals, in feuds fraught with such memorable characters as Preacher Ase Mitchell (carried a coil of lynching rope in his hat), Gentleman Jim Miller (more polite than the others), Helen Moorman (a Texas Joan of Arc), and quaint little Miss Sue Pinckney (the Emily Dickinson of Hempstead).

Ten stories of vigilantes, vendettas, and violence in Texas during a turbulent era of reconstruction—history with a vengeance.

Originally published by the University of New Mexico Press in Albuquerque in 1957.
