It's Dr. Collins!!! My favorite teacher ever. Ever! I loved his classes in college and took everyone I could, even a MWF at 8:00 am! That's devotion. I never knew I was interested in history until his class because I had always had boring coaches "teaching" it. Dr. Collins's classes were like getting to sit and listen to a knowledgeable storyteller. He wove the tale with some trivia, what you thought you knew info, some funny bits, and the when you think you are getting all settled in to this delightful story time , he throws in some hard hitting truths that you may not like, agree with, or even want to hear, but, as he says "Its everyone's history." It's been over 20 years, golly! since those days, but listening to him, I still feel compelled to take notes and wonder if this will be on the exam? Did I turn in my blue book? Awesome job Dr. Collins! You still rock!! --Shaundra Collins (no relation)

In really enjoyed this. I have a great interest in the Texas Rangers for many reasons. Of those, and my main reason, is that my five times great grandfather was a Texas Ranger from Milam County Texas. He was killed in an Indian skirmish on the Brazos River in Young county. In that skirmish, he was the only casualty. He was buried by his brother and nephew who was in the same company. His unmarked grave is lost to history. The state placed a memorial in the Fort Belknap Cemetery, which is only a couple of miles from the skirmish location, to commemorate his service. His name was Abram Trigg Smith. He was born in 1798 and died in the service of the Republic of Texas in August 5, 1841. He had only been a Ranger for a few days.

We’d all love to see them- I’m literally researching my family history as I write this and every story I ever heard is even more FASCINATING than my family had even told me. Hope you’ll consider giving them to the public so people like me can know more about their own people. :) It’s soooooo important to keep the history alive.

If you scan them you can invert them on the computer and see the actual image if you haven't already.

I will say I agree that being sworn in with that police department was something they could do while i was there, but when i left they likely fell short. Thats why I silently mentioned it before moving to the next state.

Excellent video! I'm trying to finish up a research paper on the Texas Rangers at Texas A&M and some of the stories told here by Professor Collins were great. I liked the Jesus Sandoval section the best. Are these primary sources such as the ones he used available online?

@AllenCityTV

The best primary or firsthand source recounting the role of Jesus Sandoval ("Old Casuse") remains George Durham, Taming the Nueces Strip: The Story of McNelly's Rangers. It is a memoir as Durham told the story years after the fact to a journalist named Clyde Wantland. Very colorful and graphic. I would consider the volume a classic today. Also valuable is Napoleon A. Jennings' account, A Texas Ranger. Jennings captures the spirit of it too, though his narrative is sometimes secondary rather than primary, despite being written in the first person. T. C. "Pidge" Robinson's letters to the newspaper, The Austin Daily Democratic Statesman, shed light on the subject as well. See Chuck Parson's two books on Lt. Robinson. I recently discovered too that one "Jesus Sandobal" was listed in Ranger James Gillett's Notebook as being wanted for murder in neighboring Maverick County in the year 1873. I believe this man was likely the same Jesus Sandoval. If so, Captain McNelly must have known this when he hired Sandoval as a "Scout" or more accurately spy and henchman the following year.

Mexicans in Texas called Compania Volantes were first Rangers. They showed the European Anglo’s how to become cowboys learn the real history.

We need Leander McNelly on the Texas border today. Like Patton and MacArthur in WWIl, it seems that when desperate times arise, heroes emerge to take care of the situation, like McNelly did in his time.

​@@sc666666 This just shows you don't know history past 1776. Indigenous civilization and wisdom is far spiritually superior than the materialistic drive of the Euro-American. You don't understand this continent and you never will. You still think it's something to be owned, a "right".... that always lead to it's destruction. When it has always been a responsibility. Even you "white' folk would benefit from letting go of your pride, destruction disguised as progress, deluded Nationalism disguised as Patriotism, the idea of "ownership', and all the overexaggerated "triumphs' that cast a shadow on the true genocidal history of the "USA". Happy Gregorian new year, may your own country continue on its path to it's own plight. What a downfall are we witnessing, Cheers.
