Belle Starr of the Indian Territory was another lady attracted to outlaws. She consorted with some, including Cole Younger, and married others, Jim Reed and Sam Starr. This cabinet card of her on her horse dates to 1886, three years before she was mysteriously murdered.

Why the sudden appeal of the mountain man? Maybe because neither Grizzly Adams nor Hugh Glass ever said, “It takes a village.”

In the movie Tombstone, the Cowboys are identified by the red sashes they wear around their waists. That never happened (although it made for a great story).

Unofficially formed by Stephen Austin in 1823 and officially organized in 1835, the Texas Rangers has a storied history of tracking down fugitives and protecting the border. This circa 1885-88 cabinet card is an excellent photo of Company “F” of the Frontier Battalion.

Ray Stine My wife's gggrandfather, John Jackson Tumlinson, was the person Stephen Austin asked to form the "Rangers" and was the first one killed in action in 1823. One of his sons was also killed at the Alamo!

Stewart Hedges If you love Texas history get some Elmer Kelton books and read about the Texas Rangers and the war with Mexico. Best books I have read in along time.
