- Captain Bill McDonald is the most prominent of the “Four Great Captains” of Texas Ranger history. His career straddled the changing scene from the nineteenth to the twentieth centuries. His ability to handle mobs resulted in a classic tale told around campfires: one riot, one Ranger. His admirers rank him as one of the great lawmen of Texas Ranger history.

This was my third script, written after my John Colter video. Definitely read "Yours to Command" by H.J. Weiss Jr, if you love Texas Ranger lore.
It's amazing that these old stories mirror the same human defects as we struggle with today. Excellent presentation, thanks for these lessons in history.
I thought this was very well orchestrated, well versed, and extremely interesting. Nice piece of Texas history. You have the ability to draw your viewers (at least me) into the past with your illustrations and commentary. Sincerely appreciated this video, I'll definitely watch more! Thank you!
This is one of my favorite channels because the narration isn't too over the top and has just the right amount of emotion and enthusiasm!
You are a wonderful story teller. Thanks. Have listened to you and subscribed. Not commenting often, just know I appreciate you.
Got a question? Do you know anything about the trail that one followed by the men and families who moved to Texas in the 1820 to 40's?
Thank you
Enjoyed the history documentary

sounds like a lot of racism in early days of texas and into the 50s,60s. first hand experience
If you're referring to the Brownsville Riot, you're more than welcome to look at the evidence yourself. Here's the entire transcript of the trial, which was pretty thorough in terms of witnesses and evidence.

Interesting tidbit, Major Penrose also believed that some of his troopers snuck out of the barracks and killed civilians: a policeman and barman. Companies A, B, and C were on duty during the attacks. Penrose's objection was to McDonald's insinuation that he shielded his men. McDonald suspected the major because Penrose refused to handover the soldiers to the local authorities when issued a warrant from a local judge. That's when and why McDonald stormed the barracks to retrieve the suspects.
As for the Conditt murders, it seems a fairly open and shut case. The evidence was overwhelmingly against Gibson in both trials. His near acquittal by the Bexar County jury certainly shatters your accusation of "racism." As for Captain McDonald, I didn't read any source which paints him as anything but civil towards the prisoner, Gibson. Throwing such an accusation with no proof, one might assume that you harbor some prejudices yourself.
Our governor was a democrat during that time. The same party that founded the KKk. 🤭
