Texas
Rangers Company B
The
Texas Rangers were first formed in 1823 to keep law
and order throughout Texas and the Southwest. In the
1870s the Rangers were combating rampant lawlessness,
fighting the raiding Comanche's, struggling against
Mexican border disputes and battling the feuding cattlemen
and desperados that were terrorizing the State of
Texas.

Texas
Rangers Company D - Frontier Battalion
Few
will argue that the most violent Texan from the Old
West was John Wesley
Hardin. After killing Sheriff Charley Webb in
1874 Wes Hardin was on the run, until on August 23,
1877, Frontier Battalion Lieutenant, John Armstrong,
caught up with him in Pensacola, Florida. Ranger Armstrong
with drawn Colt boarded the train and entered the
car in which Wes Hardin and four companions were sitting.
Upon seeing the Ranger with his drawn six-shooter
and big-brimmed western
hat, Hardin, is reported to have yelled, "Texas
by God!" which prompted the outlaws to go
for their pistols. When the smoke cleared, one of
Hardin's companions was dead, Wes was out cold from
a blow to the head, and Armstrong was staring down
the other three with his smoking six gun. High

Texas
Rangers Company A Peso Badge
The
Texas Rangers were often called cruel - but they were
formed in cruel times and they had to police a cruel
frontier. Often incredibly outnumbered - companies
of Rangers were victorious against Comanche warriors,
Mexican Armies, rustlers, horse thieves, and assorted
other bandits -- including Bonnie and Clyde.
Legendary
Ranger Exploits
Captain Jack Hays and his company took
on most of the Mexican Army to break the trap holding
General Winfield Scott's Army in Central Mexico. The
year was 1847 and Scott had sent word to President
Polk that it would take 50,000 troops to break the
army free. But all he needed and all he got was Captain
Hays and about 40 Rangers.
This
early 20th century Ranger badge was actually pressed
out of a silver Peso from Mexico. Badge is stamped
on both sides - notice the Peso imprint on the back.

Special
Ranger
Texas and Southwest Cattle Raisers
Association
On
February 15, 1877, in Graham, Texas, the Texas and
Southwest Cattle Raisers Association was formed. The
original name was the Stock-Raisers' Association of
North-West Texas, and Cattlemen in Oklahoma, New Mexico,
and the Indian Territory were invited to join. This
badge came about when the Association decided to take
matters into their own hands and track down outlaws
and protect themselves and their herds from the rampant
rustling of the day.

San
Juan Colorado Rangers
The
San Juan Rangers were another little known part of
the legend of the old western frontier. Rangers were
brave men who stood out from the crowd. Some were
appointed to office, others volunteered or were deputized.
Their role as lawmen was to corral cattle rustlers,
unruly gamblers and drunk cowboys and keep the peace
in the towns. The pay was minimal and the hours were
long, and often the reward was a bullet in the back.

California
Ranger
On
May 11, 1853, California Governor John Bigler signed
a legislative act authorizing the organization of
a band of California Rangers under the command of
Captain Harry Love. Their purpose? To capture or kill
the infamous bandito Joaquin Murieta, ringleader of
a gang of men believed to be responsible for much
of the cattle rustling, robberies, and murders taking
place in the Mother Lode region. In July of 1853,
the Rangers came across the group of bandits near
Arroyo Cantúa in San Benito County. After a
confrontation, two of the bandito's were killed by
the Rangers. The Rangers cut off the hand of one and

head belonged to the infamous Joaquin Murieta!
