Texas Ranger Origins,
By Roy B. Young (Apache, Oklahoma) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Indian Wars in Stephen F. Austin's Texas Colony, 1822-1835 (Paperback)
Allen Hatley has done all Texas Ranger researchers a favor by helping explain the origin of this organization. Like most Ranger researchers, I have considered 1823 as the date for the formation of the forerunners of this organization. Unlike most researchers, I have put faith in this date because I am a Tumlinson descendant and have wanted to claim them as the first Texas Rangers. Hatley gives good evidence that this is not true. While that is disappointing, personally, the truth is better than a tale. The book contains other important information on Austin's Colony which is enlightening. The book is concise, readable, and factual. Excellent work from this emerging author/historian. Roy B. Young President Western Outlaw-Lawman History Association |
