During the Mexican War in the 1840s, volunteer cavalry units from Texas joined the American army and attracted national attention. Contemporary writers described these bearded, un-uniformed men as something larger than life. The name Ranger became forever associated with Texas, another part of the mystique of the Lone Star state. To the correspondents who sent stories back to home papers, and to the men who wrote their memoirs in later years, the Texans seemed to spring full-grown from the brow of some mythical god, armed with rifles, repeating pistols, and Bowie knives. The Ranger legend, myth and fact, began years before the Mexican War on the wild Texas frontier. Gen Zachary Taylor and other American commanding officers welcomed the Texans in battle, but their undisciplined behavior at other times made the welcome wear thin.
