    A buddy of mine from the Army had served in the Texas Rangers. He was introduced at a party once with the follow up, "He used to be a Texas Ranger" and a girl standing nearby blurted out, "You played baseball?" It took a while for us to explain why we were laughing. Mostly because we were laughing... Best of Day to all the ghostriders.

    The Rangers catch a bad rap these days, but they were necessary for the time. The Comanche were merciless and brutal beyond belief, and it took some seriously stalwart men to actually go after them and keep them off the settlers. Big Foot Wallace (nice pic there, BTW 😂) was a real legend and worth reading up on. Hard men for hard times.

    Highwaymen. I mean, that's one of the last hurrah of the Texas Ranger in modern times and also in the history books.
    Bonnie and Clyde did the unthinkable and broke out tons of their associates from a major penitentiary in Texas and in the process injured quite alot of officers and prison guards with a major shootout and managed to escape. The Texas governor of that time, Miriam "Ma" Ferguson then sent out letters and calls to Frank Hamer for assistance in coming out of his retirement and also tracking down the Burrows as the Texas Rangers were one of the best in the industry in tracking criminals legally unlike the Pinkertons and were heaps better than the Bureau of Investigation (BOI).
    Thus, Frank Hamer and his friend, Benjamin Maney Gault who was also a law enforcement officer prior to being recruited into the Rangers by Hamer, went to the entire of the South of the US to hunt for the Burrow Gang and then gun them down.

      Except... That's how it happened. The movie only shortened the way it was portrayed but what I said, actually happened.
      Hamer was long retired but Ma had to send an invitation out towards him to drag him back in then Hamer himself went and gave the proposition Gault and indoctrinated him into the Rangers where not only Hamer and Gault himself was involved in the ambush or were they roaming alone, they both had some other Rangers following them in tracking the Barrow Gang too.

    I loved the newspaper clipping about the Frontier Battalion. I live in Palo Pinto county which was one of the sparsely populated counties the Battalion was formed to protect. We still have a small population. I live in Strawn which has a population of 600 folks, and we're the second largest town in the county. The county seat, Palo Pinto (named after the county), has a population of 175!
    BTW: Our town of Strawn, was just used as a primary filming location for the 1883 TV show spin-off of Bass Reeves! We are supposed to be the town of Checotah, OK. It was so much fun to watch them transform our town into the "Wild West", even though we're actually not that far removed from it.

    I remember listening to the Bantam books audio dramatizations of Louis L’Amour’s Chick Bowdrie stories. Chick Bowdrie is my favorite Louis L’Amour character because he was more than a Texas Ranger, he was a sharp detective, who knew horses, weapons, saddles, ropes and the terrain he and his Roan horse traversed. He could have gone the outlaw way because of his skills and his courage but he became a Texas Ranger because the outlaw way was not the best way for a man to live. According to the story McNalley Knows A Ranger, Leander McNalley recruited Bowdrie and Bowdrie traveled all over the West to enforce the law and bring in the outlaws.
    I bought two of the Bowdrie novellas. Great stories. I highly recommend them.

    When Colt started making the Walker 1847 again in the 1990s, I grabbed one of the first ones. Colt picked up on production numbers where they left off in the 1800s so production number is still in the 4000s. Walker stated he wanted a pistol with the firepower of a rifle. Weighing around 5 pounds and loaded with 60 grains of powder, it could / can throw a .44 out at around 1,350 fps (pretty impressive for an 1840s pistol). it is still one of my absolute favorites to shoot!

    Arizona Ghostriders, Love watching these videos and learning. I can’t speak for other Subscribers but I could do with longer videos than 5:44, I’d watch a 30 minute to 2 hours on subjects like The Texas Rangers. Now please a video on The Arizona Rangers. I hope You and the rest of The Arizona Ghostriders Crew have a good weekend.

    I'm a big fan of the Texas Rangers [ I was a law dog for 22 years].
    I've read several books about the Rangers, all of them fascinating. A month ago, I managed to acquire a reproduction of the Sharps McNelly carbine and it even has the T * S markings on the barrel.

    My ex husband's grandfather won a SAA Colt.45 Revolver from a Texas Ranger in a poker game in France during WWI. The Ranger was supposed to look him back up later and get his gun back in exchange for money. His grandfather kept an IOU for years, but the Ranger never made it back and the IOU as well as his name was lost over the years. I tried to find out who he may have been, with no luck. I was able to get a letter of authenticity from Colt on the gun however, which upheld his grandfather's story.

    Great video Santee! Now... perhaps we can expect a future video from you on the Arizona Rangers? I'm not sure where their main HQ is located but I do know they have an office in Tombstone, on a side street right off of East Allen Street. Not as big of a history as the Texas Rangersn but not to be overlooked either in my humble opinion.
    Side note: Wheelgun Dan's father (Joe One Eye) served in the Arizona Rangers for many years before he passed away.

    I definitely learned a lot about about the Texas Rangers.
    I’m definitely going to be creating a group of old West Rangers loosely based on them for my old West inspired novella story series that I’m writing book 1 for.
    I’m calling that group the Atlantium Rangers association, my stories main character Mayor-Sheriff Mercia Hawkins is apart of that group and is the leader of the Atlantium Rangers, his father Thomason was leader before him but was killed during a attempt to execute a group of phantorium-Deadings posing as outlaws, while Mercia took a bullet wound to his left hand.
    Which went through his hand and left a good sized gapping yet bloody hole.
    Of which really hasn’t healed all that much, so Mercia keeps his left hand tightly bandaged and covered at all times.
    This all happened when he was just 20 years old, he became Mayor-Sheriff of his town called the lakeside frontier city of Ur-Umnos at just 20 years old.
    In the present day of year 2632 he still has nightmares about the attack by the undead outlaws and about the murder of most of his family when he was only 10 years old.
    Those nightmares begin to haunt him as waking nightmares when he’s awake during the day.
    I hope you all really like this bit of backstory and part of my old West inspired novella story I’m writing

Their buddies came to kill him. holed him up in his office and riddled it with bullets. Eventually outside people came to the town to settle the matter and discovered him making coffee, the bullets all going over his head because the house floor was lower than the outside ground.
