10 Exciting and Sometimes Dark Adventures of the Texas Rangers

Older than Texas’s status as one of the United States of America, the humble beginning of the Texas Rangers was when Stephen F. Austin formed a militia of 10 men in 1823 because he didn’t think Mexican militias were sufficient protection from Native American raids. Today there are 166 rangers and 68 support members.

Whole television shows and movies, such as 2019’s The Highwaymen, have been devoted to singing their praises.
