But they survive in song and story, cinema and television as strong silent lawmen who all look like Gary Cooper or Lyndon B. Johnson. They are more factually commemorated by Historian Walter Prescott Webb (The Great Frontier) in this famous volume, republished now (with a foreword by President Johnson) for the first time since 1935. But the facts, though they strongly suggest that the Rangers did not always keep their honor high and clear, nevertheless indicate that the organization at worst was a necessary...
