Texas Rangers Co. D Peso Back Badge
story inside the box:
After the Civil War one of the biggest threats to the citizens of Texas was its lawlessness from within and criminal elements entering from Mexico and surrounding states. In 1874, the Legislature created two Ranger forces... the Frontier Battalion and Special Forces.
The Frontier Battalion lasted 27 years and was dissolved in 1901. During this turbulent period of time the Rangers were involved in some of the most celebrated cases in the history of the state, leading to historical facts that would later be mixed with Ranger legend.
