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? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eTexas Rangers: Lives, Legend, and Legacy\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBOB ALEXANDER is the author of \u003ci\u003eRawhide Ranger, Ira Aten, Whiskey River Ranger, Six-Shooters and Shifting Sands, Bad Company and Burnt Powder, Riding Lucifer's Line\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eWinchester Warriors, \u003c\/i\u003e all published by UNT Press.
