Thank you for this information. My dad who was born inn 1928 had a cousin, he called him Moses, was a Texas Ranger and Moses flew a helicopter. I wish I had more information about him.
You forgot to mention J.T. Canales, Texas State legislator who served 5 terms. He led the investigation that led to charges against the Texas Rangers and an official reduction in their number. He presented his findings to a joint session of the Texas Senate and House of Representatives. I attended the school named after him.
@@dadrocha7741And according to my reading, he really wasn’t worthy of mention in regards to this video. His “investigation “ came after the official investigation by the Rangers, in which Rangers were dismissed.
In south Texas, we Texanos called (the old Ranger Force) them "Los Rinches!" They were muderers and terrorists to the Texanos of what became Texas but had been New Spain for four hundred years! Personally, they hanged a grand uncle for whom I am named; they jailed my grandfather for hearding his own cattle and without charges! They mudered another granduncle because he dared challenge the Sheriff who came to claim their land. My own father had his experiences too but when he returned from the WWII, he said, "We could read and write English and we knew how how to use a gun so the could not treat us like that any more!"
The Texas Rangers were some of the most racist cops that ever existed. Killing Mexicans, Tejanos and native Americans on the spot. Women , children etc. In a little town in Texas the chicanos stood together and made the pieces of shit surrender. They cowardly surrender to General Sherman in the civil war, while the Tejano/Hispanic confederate soldiers were never defeated in battle. The Rangers were bullies with weapons, like dictators against unarmed citizens, of another race.
@@malbourne805 I totally agree! As a child I really thought that when the "Lone Ranger" rode "Silver" up the hill and Silver reared up on this back legs, that he actually stayed that way until the commercial was over!! LOL (also wondered why Tonto was always sent into "town" to gather info just to get his butt kicked! LOL I used to love Saturday morning as a child. (I'm 76 years young now!!) BTW, one of my favorite nostalgia questions is "We know THE LONE RANGER's horse's name was "Silver" but what was Tonto's horse's name?? heh heh heh!!
My GGG grandfather, Nathaniel Thomas Journey, was an early Texas Ranger, in the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame. His name is on several historical markers around the state. He rode against the commanches that were killing the settlers. He was killed by an outlaw. I was born in his home county of Fannin.
My great grandgreatfather was a Mexican American born in Texas. He was against Texas rangers for obvious reasons and interests.. He fought against Texas rangers aka rinches with he's famous 30-30 Remington rifle and he's horse... Rinches were after him not shure if that was because he took down some of hem but he hidden himself in the cerros in Mexico to let the waters chill. In that process he had sons in Mexico he had sons in the USA too So when everything chilled completely he came to take their USA born family to work on the farms while the mexican ones they made their own life in Mexico but as they said story repeats itself and here we are in our bloody root country...
UNFORTUNATELY you chose to use pictures of the worst portrayal of the Lone Ranger using pictures of an unbelievably bad movie using live dummies for Clayton Moore and Jay silverheals. That ruined this whole video of the history of the Texas Rangers.
Here's another side. Pancho Villa murdered my grandma's family, the Rangers were the only ones that weren't afraid to go after these Mexican "freedom fighter" criminals, and my family is Hispanic. Say what you want about the Texas Rangers, at least they did something about the problems instead of just saying feelgood fancy words
Stephen Austin was dam handsome! I had 1 ancestor from Missouri that married into my German side if the family. Never could figure out why till you showed me 😊. Bring back the commanches! There are zero in dallas-fortworth! One of my ancestors was a curcuit-riding judge.
Yes frank hammer went after bonnie and cylde because TDC were pissed.. and at the time frank was not on the payroll of ranger . Because the governor fired a bunch of ranger. To the director of TDC. . Hired frank to go get bonnie and cylde.
You can find out a lot more about the Texas Rangers at the Waco,Tx Texas Ranger Museum.

So…..
@randywall6678 So.............with some reading the past doesn't have to be such a mystery.

@samstevens7172 You can pick whatever History is worthy to you. There is plenty of it. It gets made everyday.
My great-grandfather was the Texas ranger

And yet the thought never occurred to them to move back to Mexico? Astounding
It was a retired Texas Ranger named Frank Hamer that led the group that took out Bonnie and Clyde
You talk about the Lone Ranger TV show but are showing clips from the 2013 movie.
Both are bogus, LOL
@@KenS-z6r The classic 1950's show was much better.

Two family's?
My 2nd Great Uncle was a Texas Ranger
Dont ever forget legendary Texas Rangers like Bill Gerth, Leo Hickman, and Lane Akin.
And Chuck Norris
Read Impire Of The Summer Moon. It's a much better and accurate history of the rangers.
Nice content, would you like some recommendation?
"One riot, one Ranger"....
UNFORTUNATELY you chose to use pictures of the worst portrayal of the Lone Ranger using pictures of an unbelievably bad movie using live dummies for Clayton Moore and Jay silverheals. That ruined this whole video of the history of the Texas Rangers.
I'll tell you who the Texas rangers were.
They were the ones who killed my grandfather and he wasn't a Comanche.
Murderers they were and Tex.has a sports team called Rangers sad , sad , sad .
Here's another side. Pancho Villa murdered my grandma's family, the Rangers were the only ones that weren't afraid to go after these Mexican "freedom fighter" criminals, and my family is Hispanic.

@@EC-hx2ou ya , those redneck Rangers also killed alot of Mexicans that meant no harm to anyone . They were out to kill any body that had brown skin .
Was he a criminal?
@randywall6678 hell ya !!!
This video used the 'wrong' Lone Ranger in 1949. Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheals were the correct actors for that time.
1:45 The Bionic Man?
Do not please use Johnny Depp and arming hammer to represent The Lone Ranger. The only Lone Ranger is Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels. Thank you
Chuck Norris is the only real answer to both questions.
