Austin Statesman journalist Michael Cox explores the origin and
rise of the famed Texas Rangers. Starting in 1821 with just a
handful of men, the Rangers' first purpose was to keep settlers
safe from the feared and gruesome Karankawa Indians, a
cannibalistic tribe that wanderd the Texas territory. As the influx
of settlers grew, the attacks increased, and it became clear that a
larger, better trained force was necessary. Taking readers through
the major social and political movements of the Texas territory and
into its statehood, Cox shows how the Rangers were a defining force
in the stabilization and the creation of Texas. From Stephen Austin
in the early days through the Civil War, the first eighty years of
the Texas Rangers were nothing less than phenomenal, and the
efforts put forth in those days set the foundation for the Texas
Rangers who keep Texas safe today.
