Rare photos and carefully documented text in this first pictorial story of the Rangers. Without a system of jails, courts and prisons to back them up, and lacking legal training or the discipline of a military force, the Rangers became an officially sanctioned, free-wheeling combination of police, judge, jury, and executioner with a grim reputation for taking no prisoners.
