| | The Texas Rangers: They Rode for the Lone Star |
 | | A drawing of a "ranging party," the Texian-Mexican Colonial period forerunners of the the Texas Rangers, mustering for a scouting patrol on the frontier. |
 | | The eastern press often shared this opinion and presented the Rangers as caricatures in cartoons and drawings--mistakenly so, since many of the Rangers were educated men, doctors, attorneys, surveyors and writers in their civilian careers. |
 | | The Rangers, men born to excel at frontier combat, lived off the land, literally "rustled" up mules and supplies for the Army, terrorized and defeated the Mexican regulars and guerrillas at every turn, and generally outshone Taylor's troops. |
