Resumen del Editor
If you want to discover the captivating history of the Texas Rangers, then pay attention...
Before Texas became a state in the United States of America, Texas Rangers would become the first state law enforcement agency that would be formed.
For about 150 years, this group of law enforcement agents has been viewed as both heroes and villains. Often portrayed in the movies and on TV as the kind of men who stick up for justice or who are the victims of truly sinister bad guys, the reality was far less black and white.
Founded by Stephen F. Austin in 1823, the Texas Rangers began as a group of volunteers who patrolled the borders and towns in the Mexican territory. Serving as both protectors of the settlers and police against criminals within the settlement, the Rangers had a wide range of skills.
In The Texas Rangers: A Captivating Guide to the History of a Law Enforcement Agency That Has Helped Stop Some of America's Most Infamous Criminals and Their Role in the Mexican-American War, you will discover topics, such as:
- Stephen Austin and the Founding of the Texas Rangers
- Growing Discontentment in Texas and the War for Texas Independence
- Protecting New Settlers After the Revolution
- Driving the Natives from Their Homes
- The Annexation of Texas
- The Mexican-American War
- Corruption, Loss of Popularity, Rebuilding and Restoring an Earlier Image
- The Fence Cutting Wars
- The Injustice Perpetrated by the Texas Rangers
- Some of the More Notable Texas Rangers
- Sam Bass
- John Wesley Hardin
- The Assassination Attempt
- Role in the Bandit War
- Taking Down Bonnie and Clyde
- The Murder of Irene Garza
- Their Role Today
- And much, much more!

Historia
Texas is one of the most recognizable states in the United States of America (it is the second-largest, behind Alaska), and it also has a reputation for being unlike any other. This reputation is well-deserved, in part because of the state’s long and often contentious history. From the heyday of the Wild West and the state’s oil boom to the storied Texas Rangers and the construction of one of NASA’s primary facilities, it seems nearly impossible to fully explore everything in the state’s rich past.

Loaded: A Disarming History of the Second Amendment is a deeply researched - and deeply disturbing - history of guns and gun laws in the United States, from the original colonization of the country to the present. As historian and educator Dunbar-Ortiz explains, in order to understand the current obstacles to gun control, we must understand the history of US guns, from their role in the "settling of America" and the early formation of the new nation, and continuing up to the present.

Because of our shared English language, as well as the celebrated origin tales of the Mayflower and the rebellion of the British colonies, the United States has prized its Anglo heritage above all others. However, as Carrie Gibson explains with great depth and clarity in El Norte, the nation has much older Spanish roots - ones that have long been unacknowledged or marginalized. The Hispanic past of the United States predates the arrival of the Pilgrims by a century, and has been every bit as important in shaping the nation as it exists today.

The Haitian Revolution began in 1791 in the French colony of Saint Domingue, when a group of slaves rebelled in order to secure their freedom and the end of slavery. In the midst of the French Revolution, slaves took advantage of volatile political, racial, and social circumstances. With legendary leaders like Toussaint Louverture, they eventually defeated Napoleon’s France to form the independent nation of Haiti. The Haitian Revolution had both global causes and consequences.

On a hot summer afternoon in 1928, the leaders of the world assembled in Paris to outlaw war. Within the year, the treaty signed that day, known as the Peace Pact, had been ratified by nearly every state in the world. War, for the first time in history, had become illegal the world over. But the promise of that summer day was fleeting. Within a decade of its signing, each state that had gathered in Paris to renounce war was at war. And in the century that followed, the Peace Pact was dismissed as an act of folly and an unmistakable failure.

In Vietnam, Christopher Goscha tells the full history of Vietnam, from antiquity to the present day. Generations of emperors, rebels, priests, and colonizers left complicated legacies in this remarkable country. Periods of Chinese, French, and Japanese rule reshaped and modernized Vietnam, but so too did the colonial enterprises of the Vietnamese themselves as they extended their influence southward from the Red River Delta.

Taking his typically in-depth, historically informed view, Thom Hartmann asks: What if the Supreme Court didn't have the power to strike down laws? According to the Constitution, it doesn't. From the founding of the republic until 1803, the Supreme Court was the final court of appeals, as it was always meant to be. So where did the concept of judicial review start? As so much of modern American history, it began with the battle between the Federalists and Anti-Federalists, and with Marbury v. Madison.

Beginning with a look at Christopher Columbus’s arrival through the eyes of the Arawak Indians, then leading the reader through the struggles for workers’ rights, women’s rights, and civil rights during the 19th and 20th centuries, and ending with the current protests against continued American imperialism, Zinn in the volumes of A Young People’s History of the United States presents a radical new way of understanding America’s history. In so doing, he reminds listeners that America’s true greatness is shaped by our dissident voices, not our military generals.

Spanning more than 200 years, An African American and Latinx History of the United States is a revolutionary, politically charged narrative history arguing that the "Global South" was crucial to the development of America as we know it. Ortiz challenges the notion of westward progress, and shows how placing African American, Latinx, and Indigenous voices unapologetically front and center transforms American history into the story of the working class organizing against imperialism.

The "Five Civilized Tribes" are among the best known Native American groups in American history, and they were even celebrated by contemporary Americans for their abilities to adapt to white culture. But tragically, they are also well known tribes due to the trials and tribulations they suffered by being forcibly moved west along the "Trail of Tears".

For much of his life, historian Howard Zinn chronicled American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version taught in schools - with its emphasis on great men in high places - to focus on the street, the home, and the workplace. Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History of the United States is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of - and in the words of - America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers.

This book concentrated too much on Texas history and not the Rangers history. They could’ve found more authentic sounding Texan narrator as well.

AMRTICA IS EVIL EVIL EVIL...according to C Histiry
BEWARE OF ANY CAPTIVATING HISTORTY INVOLVING AMERICA.
I have heard at least 2 dozen Captivating History books. EVERY TIME THERE IS THE SLIGHTEST CHANCE THEY DOWNGRADE AMERICA, STATING STRAIGHT OUT HOW AWFUL US IS. There is NO effort made to give an unbiased, or at least two sided, view of the US in ANY of the Captivating History's that I have read when there is the smallest chance to bash US. One example...how awful that the Rangers killed multiple murderer Sam Bass, who "only stole from people who could afford it". That is an actual quote...
Inn this instance America STOLE Texas and California from poor Mexico, Never mind that the population of TX and CA before Americans began coming to both areas was only a few thousand people, after over THREE HUNDRED YEARS of Spanish and Mexican rule. The Spanish ASKED the Americans to come because people were needed to use the land.
Manifest Destiny is a legitimate idea...using the resources of an entire continent for the benefit of and realization of the American Dream for poor people from every continent on earth. It is true, and an enormous tragedy, that Native Americans were almost destroyed, primarily by DEISEASE. No getting around it. It certainly would have been better if a way had been found to live together. But if, for example, the Comanche had been able to keep their traditional hunting and raiding territories, all of West TX, Eastern CO and Western OK, Southern Kansas and ALL of Northern Mexico would still be theirs. Read "Empire of the Simmer Moon". A gross exaggeration in this book against the Comanche is that all the captives they had taken had to be "rescued". Read "The Captured", or "Nine years among the Indians" if you want the REAL story about Comanche "captives".
If America "stole" TX from Mexico, then THEY stole it from Spain, who stole it from the Aztec, who stole it from the Toltec, who stole it from the Mayan...let's face it...all the way back to Adam and Eve. I am beginning to understand now how our education system is teaching young people that America is evil. Every part of our history is presented in the most unfavorable light possible...stole, lied, murdered. Yet in the CH's book about the Opium Wars in China, when the British wanted to shove trade down China's throat, and addicted the entire country to opium, it was the CHINESE FAULT for not doing what Britain wanted. Get a grip CH, because all you will be getting from me every time you don't try to present a balanced view of American history it would b ZERO stars for me if I could.

The old days
I enjoyed "A Texas Ranger". The way they lived and worked was not for the average guy. Great history lesson.
