During his 39 years of law enforcement, it was not often that his name was emblazoned in headlines, nor were his exploits of the sensational type. Therein lies the reason for chronicling his life and activities. Bennie C. Krueger is a "salt of the earth" individual, who in early life set goals, worked hard, realized his ambitions and served his fellowman in a flawless manner. Bennie C. Krueger is the epitome of millions in this country who have gone about their jobs and activities without fanfare or flamboyancy. He is one of the "ordinary" people who have built America and Texas and made them great. All too often, we focus on those in high positions and tell their stories as though they built our society and culture from lofty positions. Important as these leaders are, they could have done nothing without those Americans who routinely have gone about their jobs, day in and day out, bringing to fruition the plans and dreams of those with more authority. This book in intended as a tribute to a contributor to the building of Texas. His field happened to be law enforcement. The fact that he did his job with honesty, integrity and persistence helped to make the Texas Rangers an organization of far-flung renown. His colleagues call him a "Ranger's Ranger." Stories of people like Bennie C. Krueger need to be told and this little book attempts to do that in his case. There is no way Texas can repay the debt it owes to people like him.. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hardcover. Jacket: Good
