  • A Is Necessary to an Understanding of How Texans Evolved Their System of Frontier Protection in 1861-1865
    3~79 AI " ' FRONTIER DEFENSE IN TEXAS: 1861-1865 DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By David Paul Smith, B.S., M.Ed., M.A. Denton, Texas December, 1987 HA Smith, David Paul, Frontier Defense in Texas, 1861- 1865. Doctor of Philosophy (American History), December, 1987, 419 pp., 7 illustrations, bibliography, 228 titles. The Texas Ranger tradition of over twenty-five years of frontier defense influenced the methods by which Texans provided for frontier defense, 1861-1865. The elements that guarded the Texas frontier during the war combined organizational policies that characterized previous Texas military experience and held the frontier together in marked contrast to its rapid collapse at the Confederacy's end. The first attempt to guard the Indian frontier during the Civil War was by the Texas Mounted Rifles, a regiment patterned after the Rangers, who replaced the United States troops forced out of the state by the Confederates. By the spring of 1862 the Frontier Regiment, a unit funded at state expense, replaced the Texas Mounted Rifles and assumed responsibility for frontier defense during 1862 and 1863. By mid-1863 the question of frontier defense for Texas was not so clearly defined as in the war's early days. Then, the Indian threat was the only responsibility, but the magnitude of Civil War widened the scope of frontier protection. From late 1863 until the war's end, frontier defense went hand in hand with protecting frontier Texans &.J.

Indians and Rangers in 10th Centrury Texas IndiansIndians andand RangRangersers in 19th19th CenturCenturyy TTeexasxas Christina Smith Research Librarian , Texas Ranger Research Center A pervasive myth in Texas Ranger history is that the Rangers have always been Anglo white males. Since 1823, however, the organization has counted in their ranks Hispanics, African Americans, and especially in the early years, American Indians. It is common to assume that all American Indian tribes had an adversarial relationship with the Texas Rangers and that they all fought with and despised the men who ranged the frontier. To be sure, many did actively resist the Rangers throughout the frontier era. There were, however, several tribes who aligned themselves with the Rangers and effectively assisted them in many well known battles.

  • The Government of Texas and Her Indian Allies, 1836 - 1867
    IN JUSTICE TO OUR INDIAN ALLIES: THE GOVERNMENT OF TEXAS AND HER INDIAN ALLIES, 1836-1867 William C. Yancey, B.A., M.S. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2008 APPROVED: Richard B. McCaslin, Major Professor Richard G. Lowe, Committee Member F. Todd Smith, Committee Member Adrian R. Lewis, Chair of the Department of History Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Yancey, William C., In justice to our Indian allies: The government of Texas and her Indian allies, 1836 - 1867. Master of Arts (History), August 2008, 151 pp., 1 map, references, 65 titles. Traditional histories of the Texas frontier overlook a crucial component: efforts to defend Texas against Indians would have been far less successful without the contributions of Indian allies. The government of Texas tended to use smaller, nomadic bands such as the Lipan Apaches and Tonkawas as military allies. Immigrant Indian tribes such as the Shawnee and Delaware were employed primarily as scouts and interpreters. Texas, as a result of the terms of her annexation, retained a more control over Indian policy than other states. Texas also had a larger unsettled frontier region than other states. This necessitated the use of Indian allies in fighting and negotiating with hostile Indians, as well as scouting for Ranger and Army expeditions. Copyright 2008 by William C.
