The Texas Rangers

This was Company B of the old Frontier Battalion about 1880. (Here’s today’s Company B.) About half through now with a review copy of Texana author Mike Cox’s new book on the rangers, The Texas Rangers: Wearing the Cinco Peso 1821 – 1900, I can endorse it with only a quibble or two. Basically it’s a worthy updating of Walter Webb’s 1935 classic. More when I finish it.
