    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.

      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.

    Love the Ghostriders- hands-down one of the best research resources on the old west. However, I'd say that the Rangers have a history that's quite a bit more complicated than this. Were their methods necessary for the times? Yes, absolutely, particularly during the peak of the Comanches. However, they also committed an untold number of atrocities on both peaceful tribes and Mexican Texans and quite a few of the Rangers were hardened criminals, both before, after, and during service. Granted, it's easy to debate morality from the comfort of the 2020's, but it's worth knowing about. Ranger HOF in Waco is an awesome visit!

    My sister-in-law and I do genealogy and there is family lore that her great grandfather was a Texas Ranger. The census records state that he was a farmer. I’m sure that a lot of "lawmen" had regular jobs as farmers, blacksmiths, etc. and being a lawman/deputy was a part time job for many of them. But the story said that he went into a big briar patch after a bad guy. Apparently he did kill the guy but he himself was shot in a lung. His wife nursed him for about 6 months before he finally died from his wound. We have found NO records of his death at all but he was not on the 1880 census and his wife was listed as a widow. We found some death info for someone with the same name who died in Arkansas in that general time period but we’re pretty sure that was not the same man.
    I’m not even sure that he was an actual Texas Ranger but possibly a local deputy. I have no idea where to look for records.

    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!

      @@ArizonaGhostriders Samuel Colt had such an affinity for the Texas Rangers for the rest of his life because the Walker put him back in business to stay in 1847. After that, his black powder revolvers (dragoon series, 1851, 1861 Navies and 1860 Army had engravings of the Texas Rangers or the Texas Navy. Even during the Civil War (War of Northern Aggression), Colt sold 1,000 1860 Army revolvers to the Texas Rangers for “home protection”. Yes, it was against laws then, but Colt just wrote it off after war.

    Hey Santee great video! Think you can help me find an Old West Lawman? I forget his name but the story goes something like this. He arrested or killed some cowboys. 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.

    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

    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.
