There are those who say that it was started by the Spanish--by the first Mexican conquistadors who came up from across the Rio Grande to carve out a new empire in the wild and far-flung Land of the Tejas.

And there are those who have a different story, those who base their claims on the shaky foundations of pure legend--leaving history a plastic plaything in the hands of those who spread its inky trails across the records--but no one know with any degree of certainty just where was first conceived the idea behind the Texas Rangers, that force of hard-fighting, fast-riding men, whose keen eyes have watched the fringes of a state's frontier for more than a hundred years.
