Download or read book A Ranger s Life written by T. W. Strait and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-05-12 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: T. W. Strait was employed by the Missouri State Park Board each summer from 1958 through 1962. He was a college summer day worker for the first year, but became the Campground Supervisor for the next four summers. Most of what you will read comes from many personal experiences and a bit of creative license. He saw so many things happen through young eyes that have stuck with him for these many years. Tom met his wife while working at the park and has had a fondness for all memories connected with that work experience. He made many friendships while employed there and for that reason felt it important to share those experiences with you. When Tom started working for the Park System at Lake Ozark State Park, he arrived as a210 pound, over weight, spoon fed son of an IBM Branch Manager who got the job for him during the Christmas break of 1957, Tom's junior year in high school. Mowing his dad's yard and watching TV was his only summer interests during previous summers. This summer was be different. Upon arriving at the park, Tom was quartered in the back room of the main park office witha bunk and with only a refrigerator and a hot plate for appliances. There was no hot water heater, so any showers were taken in very cold well water in the basement, or by catching aride to the campground six miles away for a hot shower. With no vehicle, Tom depended on the other students with cars, two, to go to town to shop for groceries and other necessities. This was a major difference in his past lifestyle. Tom's duties that first year were to help clean all of the restrooms at the campground, swimming beach and picnic shelter. After doing that, he helped haul garbage from each of the above locate ones and then hauled wood back to the campers. Once done with those projects, he and the other boys cut grass and whipped weeds for the rest of each day. Once week he and his co-harts got to runt he road, picking up litter thrown out by thoughtless visitors. That was a 6 mile run in very hot and humid weather. Every once in a while he got the privilege of helping pump out the out house toilets in the campground and that was an enlightening experience. Needless to say, by summers end, Tom had lost 35 pounds and had really gained some never before enjoyed muscle tone, as well as had received a very good education of what life was really all about. The next 4 years as Supervisor, he assigned duty es to the then 6 extra students and he also collected camp fees. During those 5 years, he gained a real appreciate on for life and the feelings of others that has carried with him throughout his later career as a Marketing Manager. After graduating from Indiana University School of Business in 1963, he married his park sweetheart and went to work for a major oil company for the next 4 years. He attained the tatle of Senior Sales Representative before leaving to go back to Missouri to work with a smaller independent oil company as Sales Manager. Here he stayed for the next 40+ years helping build the company to a multimillion dollar concern. He is currently semi-retired, working three days a week for that company and working the other two days with his son in a company they started in 1997 called T & S Distributors, L. L. C. that sells, installs, and services automotive equipment. Tom credits his park experience for much of his business success. It was there he gained firsthand experience dealing with about every conceivable type of situation imaginable. The wife beating, attempted suicide, accidents, lassoing the wounded deer, the lost camper, the German shepherds, the lost teeth, the couple in the tent, the Clydesdales, and forest fires were all things in which Tom personally had to become involved. None of the characters named in this book are real or reflect on anyone he worked with in the park. The comradely, however, did prevail there throughout his tenure. Tom's dealings with all park and Park Board personnel were handled in a very positive an dedicational manner and he is most grateful to the Board and Mr. Joe Jaeger its Director at the time, for giving him the chance of a life time and the job. Tom also dedicates this book tohis first Superintendent, Mr. Ned Brown, who died in a truck accident very much like the one his character JJ in the book experienced. Tom hopes you enjoy these stories as much as he enjoyed experiencing or creating them.
Download or read book Reminiscences of a Ranger written by Horace Bell and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gunfights and general lawlessness were common in the frontier cities of the American West. Tombstone and Dodge City are legendary. But neither saw violence approaching that of Los Angeles in the 1850s. In his Reminiscences of a Ranger, Horace Bell reports that "midnight raids and open day robbery and assassinations of defenseless or unsuspecting Americans were of almost daily occurrence" in southern California, a territory newly acquired from Mexico. To combat this lawlessness, in 1853 the citizens of Los Angeles formed a volunteer mounted police force known as the Los Angeles Rangers. Under the command of Captain Alexander Hope, the Rangers strove to keep the peace within the city, and they hunted down bandits and murderers in the surrounding region, including several connected with Joaquin Murrieta's band. The life of a mounted ranger appealed to Horace Bell, a civilian who later became an attorney and ran a newspaper. As John Boessenecker says in the introduction to the book, Bell's memoir is a history of early Los Angeles, an essential and highly entertaining source for this period of the California Gold Rush. With a sharp eye for detail, Bell sketches numerous pioneers, politicians, military figures, and outlaws, and he vividly describes riots and shootouts in the city streets and campaigns against Indians and bandits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They say everything is bigger in Texas, and the Lone Star State can certainly boast of immense ranches, vast oil fields, enormous cowboy hats, and larger-than-life heroes. Among the greatest of the latter are the iconic Texas Rangers, a service that has existed, in one form or another, since 1823. Established in Waco in 1968, the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum continues to honor these legendary symbols of Texas and the American West. While upholding a proud heritage of duty and sacrifice, even men who wear the cinco peso badge can have their own champions. Thirty-one individuals—whose lives span more than two centuries—have been enshrined in the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame. In The Ranger Ideal Volume 2: Texas Rangers in the Hall of Fame, 1874-1930, Darren L. Ivey presents capsule biographies of the twelve inductees who served Texas in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Ivey begins with John B. Jones, who directed his Rangers through their development from state troops to professional lawmen; then covers Leander H. McNelly, John B. Armstrong, James B. Gillett, Jesse Lee Hall, George W. Baylor, Bryan Marsh, and Ira Aten—the men who were responsible for some of the Rangers’ most legendary feats. Ivey concludes with James A. Brooks, William J. McDonald, John R. Hughes, and John H. Rogers, the “Four Great Captains” who guided the Texas Rangers into the twentieth century.
Download or read book Texas Ranger Captain William L Wright written by Richard McCaslin and published by University of North Texas Press. This book was released on 2021-10-15 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William L. Wright (1868-1942) was born to be a Texas Ranger, and hard work made him a great one. Wright tried working as a cowboy and farmer, but it did not suit him. Instead, he became a deputy sheriff and then a Ranger in 1899, battling a mob in the Laredo Smallpox Riot, policing both sides in the Reese-Townsend Feud, and winning a gunfight at Cotulla. His need for a better salary led him to leave the Rangers and become a sheriff. He stayed in that office longer than any of his predecessors in Wilson County, keeping the peace during the so-called Bandit Wars, investigating numerous violent crimes, and surviving being stabbed on the gallows by the man he was hanging. When demands for Ranger reform peaked, he was appointed as a captain and served for most of the next twenty years, retiring in 1939 after commanding dozens of Rangers. Wright emerged unscathed from the Canales investigation, enforced Prohibition in South Texas, and policed oil towns in West Texas, as well as tackling many other legal problems. When he retired, he was the only Ranger in service who had worked under seven governors. Wright has also been honored as an inductee into the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame at Waco.
