Add to basketThe Highly Irregular Irregulars: Texas Rangers in the Mexican War by Frederick Wilkins. Published by Eakin Press, Austin, TX, 1990. 1st Stated Signed Edition. Hardbound. Paper DJ. Size 8vo (up to 9-1/2'' tall). Condition: Fine in VG DJ. DJ price clipped. Inscribed and signed by author to original owners on front loose end paper. 227 Pgs. ISBN 0890157162. LCCN 89-16856. 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.
