Since 1823, Texas Rangers have defended frontier families, stopped cattle rustlers, solved crimes, and done much more beyond the scope of even the U.S. Army. Writer Karl Kesel once noted that the Texas Rangers would make perfect comic book characters because "They're so larger than life." Their skill and bravery pushed the borders of believability: they'd famously send a single ranger to control an entire riot. This brief text delves into the Rangers' storied history-from their humble beginnings serving the Republic of Texas, to their modern role as detectives in cowboy hats. Though the Rangers have at times been controversial, their courage, integrity, and perseverance have maintained the American landscape we know today. |
