Download Winchester Warriors: Texas Rangers of Company D, 1874-1901 AudioBook Free
The Texas Rangers were institutionally birthed in 1874 with the forming of the Frontier Battalion. They were tasked with interdicting Indian incursions in to the frontier settlements and coping with the lawlessness running rampant throughout Texas. In an effort to put a individual face on the Rangers, Bob Alexander instructs the story of one of the six companies of the Frontier Battalion, Company D. Beginning with their start as Indian fighters resistant to the Comanches and Kiowas, Alexander explores the history of Company D as they rounded up numerous Texas outlaws and cattle thieves, engaged in boundary skirmishes along the Rio Grande, and participated in notable episodes including the fence cutter wars. Winchester Warriors is an evenhanded and impartial analysis of Company D and its own colorful cadre of Texas Rangers. Their laudable deeds are explored in detail, but by the same token their shameful misadventures are not whitewashed. These Texas Rangers were simply people, bad and the good - and sometimes indifferent. This new review, extensively explored in both most important and secondary options, will charm to scholars and aficionados of the Texas Rangers and american history.
