À propos de cet audio

The series begins with the formation of the Texas Rangers in 1823, when Stephen F. Austin recruited ten men to protect settlements in what was then northern Mexico. The episode traces how this small frontier militia evolved into a formidable fighting force that developed revolutionary tactics to combat Comanche raiders, notably their early adoption of Colt revolvers that changed the dynamics of mounted warfare. The narrative follows the Rangers through Texas independence, the Mexican-American War, and their transformation from irregular fighters to the more formalized Frontier Battalion in the late 19th century. Throughout, the episode connects historical developments to the physical landscapes where they occurred, bringing to life the harsh terrain and dangerous conditions that shaped Ranger methods and mentality.
