The history of law enforcement in the Lone Star State goes back
well before photography, dating to Texas’s days as part of the
Spanish empire. After that Texas became a province of Mexico and
for nearly a decade stood among the nations as an independent
republic before becoming the 28th state in the Union in 1845.
Beyond the contribution to law and order made by constables,
sheriffs, town marshals, city police officers, and federal lawmen,
Texas is the birthplace of a law enforcement institution unique in
the world, the legendary Texas Rangers. Historic Photos of Texas
Lawmen features close to 200 images of Texas lawmen, bad men
(and a few bad women), assorted characters with a law enforcement
connection like the legendary Judge Roy Bean, and shots of the
places they did their work—for good or bad. Each photograph has a
story to tell. Some of the images in this volume, coming from the
author’s personal collection, are published here for the first
time. But all of the images command attention, many as
attention-getting as the business end of a Texas Ranger’s .45.
