LEGENDS OF THE OLD WEST | Texas Rangers Ep1: "A Captain Rises"

LEGENDS OF THE OLD WEST presented by Black Barrel Media. After the Texas revolution and the Great Comanche Raid, a Tennessean named John Coffee Hays rises to prominence as the commander of the Texas Rangers. Hays, along with captains Ben McCulloch, Samuel Walker and "Bigfoot" Wallace fights bandits in the Nueces Strip and Comanches on the frontier. The rangers are on the front lines as Mexico sends hundreds of troops into Texas. Texas responds by sending the rangers to Mexico on the disastrous Mier Expedition.

@ Randy Allen That's awesome. The battle of Plum Creek was fought on my great great great great Grandpa's land. The rangers and the army met at his cabin on Plum Creek to plan the ambush. The women and children held up in the cabin during the fighting. My 4X great grandpa took part in the battle and later became the first justice of the peace of caldwell county (Lockhart). His name was Isham Jones Good. I imagine our great grandpas knew each other well. 👍🐎🤠

Caldwell County ?

[@SKaR64]

This is a great and detailed documentary on the early rangers, Capt. Jack Hays and Bigfoot Wallace. My only criticism is that Bigfoot did not serve in the Texas Revolution as sometimes claimed in out-of-date books.

[@SuperSikarlo]

This is how history should be spoken about.

Not to knit pick, but Llano is pronounced Yano in Spanish with a short a. In English, it Llano with the same short a.

[@jasonroberts9788]

In Texas, we lean extra hard on that L and pronounce it LLLLano. Why? Because Texas isn't Mexico :)

[@ontheroadwithtex7991]

@@jasonroberts9788 Right, and in Spanish the "a" is pronounced "ah", so it's "Y-ah-no" because the double L in Spanish has the sound of "y" in English. In English Llano is "L-an-o", with the "a" sound phonetically written "ae" as in "piano".

[@bigjerm1631]

​​@@ontheroadwithtex7991 you are correct (or atleast i think you are). Because in texas we say Llano like Plano without the P.

[@ontheroadwithtex7991]

@@bigjerm1631 Plano is a long way from me, but around here we say "Play-no", whereas Llano is like the "a" in the name "Danny".

The company was Jack Hays inn?

[@KernowekTim]

Comanches; Spartans on horse-back. The Nermernuh, like their ancient Spartan counterparts, were a nation geared for war at all times, the conquered tribes served as Helots: vassals to their Lords. Their ethos was war and subjugation. Stand in their way and be 'cleansed'. Whole tribes of Apaches simply ceased to exist due to the Nermernuh. Eventually the Industrial Revolution caught up with them, and modern weapon technology proved too much for them in the hands of a foe that had a limitless supply of both men and weaponry, coupled with the need for complete ownership of a Continent. The Texas Rangers were the catalyst for the eventual demise of the most powerful and lethal warriors ever to range free and wild on the Great Plains of North America, and canyons therein.

It’s “Bravo-Too-Much”, not “Brave”.

[@brodavidb]

Good stuff. Music is distracting when listening to spoken word.

[@ericjohnson8326]

Clean out your ears then. Gees! what more do u want? These are the most detailed documentaries i have ever heard & i have watched a lot of them.

[@endthe.1percent]

Completely agree

[@blacksheepbear6382]

Europeans VERY WELL understood that if you don’t settle and defend the land you don’t own it? Hence moving settlers west. Next, you seem to have failed to mention the treaty/treaties of Velasco? You don’t get to dictate terms when you lose a war?

[@DonMega888]

I urge you to sign the treaty of stfu

[@marthagomez7335]

Sam Houston was not a hero, he attacked the Mexican army while it slept. Coward. Tejas is still Mexico, Texas was never a republic. The treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo is an invalid document.

[@zacharygregory4925]

Bs San Jacinto was a fair fight and your precious Santa Annna tried to run away like a cowardly dog. But the Texans caught him and would’ve hanged him hadn’t out own Sam Houston not spared him. And let’s not forget the Alamo where they slaughtered wounded and sick men while they were bound to their beds. But keep living your false history

[@zacharygregory4925]

So in short, you’re butt hurt that we whipped your little Napoleon wanna be

[@zacharygregory4925]

Y’all tried TWICE and couldn’t take Texas back. TWICE.

[@zacharygregory4925]

Tortured the Texans like barbarians but still couldn’t win!

[@marthagomez7335]

@@zacharygregory4925 they didn’t torture, they just executed traitors, terrorists, pirates ,punishment for treason is execution. In any military , including the United States military.The texians that weren’t even born in Tejas had accepted Mexican citizenship because they were greedy and wanted the land grants. They died like the greedy dogs that they were. They were no Saints, they were slavers! They thought they were Saints. . But we know well that they had devil horns holding up their false halos. It’s not like the invaders were innocent , they knew exactly what they were getting themselves into, so don’t play the victims as usual role. You guys were/are rotten to the core! kzbin.info/www/bejne/maSamZt5r9She8U
