THE TEXAS RANGERS IN THE MEXICAN-AMERICAN WAR.


17406. THE TEXAS RANGERS IN THE MEXICAN-AMERICAN WAR. This paper provides an overview and analysis of the role of the Texas Rangers in the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). Drawing on a wide range of primary (memoirs, letters, journalistic reports) and secondary sources, the motivations and activities of the Texas Rangers during the war are described and explained. The relations between the Rangers and the regular Army, state volunteers, and the Mexican enemy are explored. The Rangers’ contributions to the war effort are described and assessed. The analysis also takes a critical look at the widely accepted image of the Rangers as honorable citizen soldiers and unbiased dispensers of even-handed justice. Related to this is an exploration of the Rangers’ role in committing atrocities. The concluding section makes an appraisal of the Rangers’ overall role in the war and considers the merits of the legend of the Texas Rangers. KEYWORDS: Texans rangers Mexicans Texas Rangers war.
