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.

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 AssociationOn 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 the head of the other. The Rangers claimed that the head belonged to the infamous Joaquin Murieta!

Something Special and UniqueBack in May, 2006 we were rounded up to work on a re-enactment of the moment when Jack McCall walked into Tom Nuttal's #10 Saloon on Aug 2 1876, in Deadwood, Dakota Territory, and murdered Wild Bill Hickok.
This painting by Canadian artist Ken Dewar, was the end result of the afternoon of filming in Heritage Park, an authentic 19th century town, in Calgary. 130 years to the day that McCall did his cowardly deed the painting was unveiled in front of City Hall in Deadwood, South Dakota, on August 2, 2006.
