There are plenty of Texas Rangers I admire, but I have a very great respect for Frank Hamer in particular. He was shot and left for dead many times. As I recall he had seventeen through and through bullet wounds. He never betrayed a snitch. His word was always good. Whatever he promised he delivered, and all on both sides of the law knew this. He lived quietly and frugally, and had devoted family. He was an excellent shot, and said that a charge of buckshot in the air "looked like a swarm of bees."

Hamer was canned out of the Rangers when he wouldn't tell the Governor who an informant of his was. Later the same Governor (Liberal Democrat, natch, a sort of early Pat Schroeder) called him back to stop the Barrow gang, "Bonny and Clyde". The movie of the same name is almost all vile lies, by the way.

The best story I have heard about Frank Hamer concerns the police force of an early oil boom town. The cops there were totally on the take, murderers and shakedown artists. Hamer went there alone to bring them in. He walked through the town, talked to the cops, and told them to come in to be arrested the next morning. They all did. They did not bring in their firearms when they came in to be arrested, though, so Hamer sent them home to bring their guns in. The arrested cops all went home, got their guns, came back, and surrendered to Hamer quietly.

Contemplate the man that Hamer must have been.

Evening Grace Snip & Sam~

Bless both your hearts for todays thread.

"Silence in Ranks, and close up in the rear,
Look out in the front, If the foe should appear,
Blaze away, show no Quarter, but slay as you go,
And should you fall, Let it be with face to the foe."
~Prvt. S.J. Adams, Texas Ranger~from the "Battle of San Bennidito"

Sam, glad you enjoyed the "bushswackling" Master and Commander, it really took one into the guts of sea battles back then.
