Authors Bob Alexander and Donaly E. Brice grappled with several
issues when deciding how to relate a general history of the Texas
Rangers. Should emphasis be placed on their frontier defense
against Indians, or focus more on their role as guardians of the
peace and statewide law enforcers? What about the tumultuous
Mexican Revolution period, 1910–1920? And how to deal with myths
and legends such as One Riot, One Ranger? Texas Rangers: Lives,
Legend, and Legacy is the authors’ answer to these questions, a
one-volume history of the Texas Rangers. The authors begin with the
earliest Rangers in the pre-Republic years in 1823 and take the
story up through the Republic, Mexican War, and Civil War. Then,
with the advent of the Frontier Battalion, the authors focus in
detail on each company A through F, relating what was happening
within each company concurrently. Thereafter, Alexander and Brice
tell the famous episodes of the Rangers that forged their legend,
and bring the story up through the twentieth century to the present
day in the final chapters.
