[explaining the origin of the Texas Rangers]

Himself - Host:
They were formed to fight the Comanches and in order to qualify, a man had to ride like the wind, trail like an Indian and shoot like an outlaw. They were called 'The Western Minutemen.' Of course, the Texans put a stop to that when they learned that Paul Revere had to ride for help. A Ranger was armed with a rifle, a brace of pistols, a hunting knife and fifty rounds of ammunition. He was literally the B-17 of the desert.
