As America moved westward during the 19th century, a frontline of armed men defended advancing settlements against Indian attacks and other threats. In Texas, a unique breed of volunteers signed on to protect the settlers. It was said that these men could ride like Mexicans, trail like Indians, shoot like Tennesseans and fight like the devil.
