Tom White: The Life of a Lawman

THOMAS BRUCE WHITE was his full name, but everyone call him "Tom." He was born in a log house in Texas in 1881 and he died in El Paso in 1971. During his ninety years, he was a Texas Ranger ... F. B. I. investigator ... Warden at Leavenworth ... and Warden at La Tuna. This informal biography tells of the career of a man who devoted his life to "law and order " and who remained a humanitarian through it all.

The author is Verdon Adams, who knew Tom White intimately during the last years of his life and who has told Tom's story with care and candor, with sensitivity and sincerity, with admiration and affection for his subject.

Readers will find this work interesting and inspiring, for it tells the life story of a man of integrity-a quality which many claim is all too rare in our century when even the idea of law and order is severely challenged. The book has been edited and indexed by Professor Joseph M. Ray, The University of Texas at El Paso.
