Happy Birthday to the Texas Rangers

Quote:

On October 17, 1835, Texans approved a resolution to create the Texas Rangers, a corps of armed and mounted lawmen designed to “range and guard the frontier between the Brazos and Trinity Rivers.”

In the midst of their revolt against Mexico, Texan leaders felt they needed a semi-official force of armed men who would defend the isolated frontier settlers of the Lone Star Republic against both Santa Ana’s soldiers and Native Americans; the Texas Rangers filled this role. But after winning their revolutionary war with Mexico the following year, Texans decided to keep the Rangers, both to defend against Native Americans and Mexicans and to serve as the principal law enforcement authority along the sparsely populated Texan frontier.
Happy Birthday

PS: Today is also my grandson's BD. LJB is celebrating his 12th.
