The Texas Ranger law enforcement agency features so prominently in
Texan and Wild West folklore that its accomplishments have been
featured in everything from pulp novels to popular television. After a
brief overview of the Texas Rangers formation, this book provides an
exhaustive account of every known Ranger unit from 1823 to present. Each
chapter provides a brief contextual explanation of the time period
covered and features entries on each units commanders, periods of
service, activities, and supervising authorities. Appendices include an
account of the Rangers battle record, a history of the illustrious
badge, documents relating to the Rangers, and lists of Rangers who have
died in service, been inducted into the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame, or
received the Texas Department of Public Safetys Medal of Valor.
Hardcover book in very good condition.
