Its indoor and outdoor exhibits present a detailed and often poignant chronicle of an agency that is frequently misunderstood. Together, these artifacts reveal the courage, innovation, and sacrifice of the men and women, past and present, who have carried out—and continue to carry out—the Border Patrol’s mission.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe NBPM is more than a collection of artifacts. It is an immersive journey through the historical forces that have shaped America’s southern, northern, and coastal borders. Its story extends from the rugged early days of mounted guards pursuing smugglers across vast and unforgiving landscapes, through Patrol Inspectors confronting bootleggers, guarding against enemy threats during World War II, serving as air marshals, and supporting the enforcement of federal law during the civil rights era, to the high-technology and multifaceted operations conducted by today’s Border Patrol Agents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll net proceeds from the sale of this book benefit the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eNational\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eBorder Patrol Museum and Memorial Library Foundation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that does not receive a regular federal appropriation or continuing government operating subsidy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col class=\"a-carousel\" role=\"list\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"a-carousel-card rpi-carousel-attribute-card\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"rpi-attribute-book_details-fiona_pages\" class=\"a-section rpi-attribute-content celwidget\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-text-center rpi-attribute-label\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePrint length\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-none a-text-center rpi-attribute-value\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e249 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-none a-text-center rpi-attribute-value\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"a-carousel-card rpi-carousel-attribute-card\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"rpi-attribute-book_details-publication_date\" class=\"a-section rpi-attribute-content celwidget\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-text-center rpi-attribute-label\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication date\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-none a-text-center rpi-attribute-value\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeptember 4, 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-none a-text-center rpi-attribute-value\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"a-carousel-card rpi-carousel-attribute-card\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"rpi-attribute-book_details-dimensions\" class=\"a-section rpi-attribute-content celwidget\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-text-center rpi-attribute-label\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-none a-text-center rpi-attribute-value\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e6 x 0.57 x 9 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"National Border Patrol Museum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49450719412379,"sku":null,"price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/0899\/0619\/files\/6137-5PzCAL._SY466.jpg?v=1788547172","url":"https:\/\/0ecf89-6.myshopify.com\/products\/honor-first-the-story-of-the-national-border-patrol-museum-and-memorial-library","provider":"National Border Patrol Museum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
