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.

In The Texas Rangers: A Captivating Guide to the History of a Law Enforcement Agency That Has Helped Stop Some of America's Most Infamous Criminals and Their Role in the Mexican-American War, you will discover topics, such as:

  • Stephen Austin and the Founding of the Texas Rangers
  • Growing Discontentment in Texas and the War for Texas Independence
  • Protecting New Settlers After the Revolution
  • Driving the Natives from Their Homes

It's easy and has a ton of information from ...

This audiobook starts at the beginning and carries over a century of total background, that will, probably, shine through in my work. If you require the real skinny on the Rangers and not TV or movie lore, buy this audiobook.
