How much do we really know about the Texas Rangers? If you lived in Texas, of course you know the history, it’s almost like an obligation. They are shown as highly respected law enforcers in the state of Texas since the beginning. It started off as only a ten-man team of experienced frontiers who were given the title “Ranger” by Stephen F. Austin himself around 1824. It isn’t until 1835 the Corp of Rangers were established. Since then the Rangers patrolled the boarder of South Texas, also known as the “Valley” to those who call it home now. These men would patrol for any Indians or Mexicans wondering around the boarder who were trespassing onto Texas soil. Well what they don’t tell you is that the Rangers are actually responsible for hundreds if not thousands of lynchings of Mexican-Americans.
