I HEN the Republic of Texas was first organized in December, 1837, the new state found herself with an enormous frontier to protect. To the south was the hostile Mexican, while to the west and northwest roved the murderous Indian. The Ranger troop was officially or- ganized to furnish protection against these enemies. By 188 5 the Rangers ' intense activity against the hostile red man had practically exterminated him. However, the problems of the Rangers did not cease. The white bad man had begun to plunder and kill. From the pursuing of marauding redskins the Rangers turned to the hunting of outlaws, and by working industriously and fearlessly, they have succeeded in making Texas the most peaceful state in the Union. Their record has been unexcelled by any body of peace officers yet organized. For courage, patriotism, and efficiency the Texas Rangers are unsurpassed. This year, 1932, our ambition is to picture these qualities to you. t Engraver: SWECO Printer: BABCOCK CO. Photographer: TAYLOR ' S j STUDIOS Jl
