We love hearing from our fans!
In this latest episode, we cover a very dark episode in the Rangers history. It was a time when Texans living along the Mexican border had to deal not only with Comanches, but Pancho Villa and his raiding bandits. The Rangers of the time were left up to their own methods of dealing with the violence they faced and sometimes the outcomes are not so pleasant.
