Learn about the men behind the legendary star!
This record takes readers through the two hundred-year-history of the
Texas Rangers and the changes that took place in the state from the
organization's inception to its current incarnation. Emphasis is placed
on the diversity of those who assisted the Rangers, including Native
Americans, Texans of Mexican heritage, and African Americans, along with
the newest addition--women rangers. Covering the creation of the Rangers
as a response to territorial conflict, their role under the Republic,
their defense against Mexican invaders, and their evolution during the
twentieth century, Melanie Chrismer has created the perfect resource for
the classroom.
