Juan N. Cortina and the Struggle for Justice in Texas by Carlos Larralde and Jose Rodolfo Jacobo (Rare 2000 Softcover Edition)

With a degree in law from the University of Michigan, class of '99, Canales practice law in Cameron County's seat at Brownsville. People elected him their representative to the state legislature for several terms, 1905 to 1912 and then 1917 to 1920. It was in the last term that Canales made his most memorable mark, thundering against the atrocities committed by the formerly untouchable Texas Rangers, who had rampaged the Valley during the so-called "bandit raids" of 1915 and 1916, depriving the citizenry - almost all Hispanics - of their dignity and human rights in the name of Ranger justice. --- excerpt from book's Introduction
