註釋

Charts the history of this remarkable force from the 1820s to the present day. Originally formed to combat the predatory Comanches, the Rangers served the independent Republic of Texas and then in the Mexican-American war. Some of their most famous captains date from this period; Ben McCulloch, "Jack" Hayes and Samuel H. Walker. Having begun as Indian fighters they later adversaries ranged from Mexican bandits to hardened criminals like John Wesley Hardin and Bonnie and Clyde. Today the Texas Rangers are a modern organization and represent the elite of Texas law enforcement.
