Texas Ranger Division - Creation and early days.
By the early 1820s the Mexican War of Independence had subsided, and some 600 to 700 families had settled in Texas—most of them from other parts of the United States. Because there was no regular army to protect the citizens against attacks by Native Americans and bandits, Stephen F. Austin in 1823 organized small, informal armed groups whose duties required them to range over the countryside, and who thus came to be known as "rangers". Around August 4 of that ye ...

| | | | Texas Ranger Division: Encyclopedia II - Daniel Parker - Illinois and Texas It was in Illinois that Parker would enter politics, stir the foreign missionary controversy, and develop a form of doctrine that would isolate him from many of his brethren, while eventually creating a small Baptist sub-group. In 1820 Parker published a pamphlet, A Public Address to the Baptist Society, and Friends of Religion in General, on the Principle and Practice of the Baptist Board of Foreign Missions for the United States of America, attacking missionary practices, especially those of the recently formed Baptist Board of Foreign Missions.

| | | | Texas Ranger Division: Encyclopedia II - Benjamin McCulloch - Texas career When Crockett went to Texas in 1835 (following his defeat in his third congressional campaign), Ben McCulloch -- tired of farming, seeking adventure, and with no formal schooling but considerable natural ability for getting things done -- decided to accompany him, as did Henry, planning to meet Crockett's Tennessee Boys at Nacogdoches on Christmas Day. Ben contracted measles, however, and was bedridden for several weeks; they arrived too late at Nacogdoches but pressed on toward San Antonio. The delay prevented them from arriving ...
