Publisher's Summary
If you want to discover the captivating history of the Texas Rangers, then pay attention...
Before Texas became a state in the United States of America, Texas Rangers would become the first state law enforcement agency that would be formed.
For about 150 years, this group of law enforcement agents has been viewed as both heroes and villains. Often portrayed in the movies and on TV as the kind of men who stick up for justice or who are the victims of truly sinister bad guys, the reality was far less black and white.
Founded by Stephen F. Austin in 1823, the Texas Rangers began as a group of volunteers who patrolled the borders and towns in the Mexican territory. Serving as both protectors of the settlers and police against criminals within the settlement, the Rangers had a wide range of skills.
