La Matanza: The Darkest Hour of the Texas Rangers

Your enthusiasm in telling a story is both charming and contagious. You are part of a long Texas tradition of fine storytellers. It's an art. (I grew up in Austin, long ago)

[@WildWestExtravaganza]

Thank you!

[@samlindsey1078]

Great job in telling the history of our great state of Texas. As you pointed out, it's important to keep the stories of the tough men and women who were the backbone of the development of Texas, but just as important is acknowledging the darker parts of our history, so we can move forward as better, stronger people. We have a lot of people from our history that were instrumental in making Texas the great state it is today, they are made up of Native American, Mexican, Black, and White people who had the strength of character to persevere against all adversity and obstacles they encountered. It makes me proud to be a native Texan.

While living in Odessa I made numerous trips to Candelaria. On my second trip, rather than taking improved roads to Presidio, then north to my destination, I found Pinto Canyon Road, an adventurous trek that I would recommend any Texan take as it is an amazing thing most have never experienced. Just take FM2810 out of Marfa, southwest toward Ruidosa. You'll encounter a sign alerting end of pavement. Just a short distance later you'll enter Pinto Canyon Ranch. It is absolutely gorgeous. You'll then come out at the ghost town of Ruidosa and turn north to go about 7 mi to Candelaria. I tried multiple times to locate Porvenir but the network of roads (many not much more than "undocumented" cow paths, some utterly impassable) together with inaccessible GPS connection prevented me from locating the exact spot. Albeit, after my first venture I made certain to have several cases of bottled water on subsequent trips. While I am disgusted with the carpetbagging political vermin restricting border law enforcement, you cannot drive the roads between Candelaria and Van Horn without encountering poor souls afoot, literally dying of thirst. Though certainly not entirely safe and likely not a very smart move, I could not leave those people without water. I would drive a short distance past them, stop my vehicle, then get out and shout "el alto" or stop, then show them my gun. I'd then take a couple bottles a piece and set them on the ground between us, backing off before indicating they could collect the agua. Moreover, as the evidence provided by signs of coyote camps would indicate, this entire region suggests the presence and goings-on within a sub-culture reminiscent of days and attitudes not so forgotten nor so long past as they might seem.

My ancestor was a Texas Ranger. Jim Robinson was his name. He was back in the 1800s. As you said anyone pretty much could be a ranger but only the tough remained Rangers. They did what they had to to bring peace but they also went to far at times. It goes back to this old saying, Hard times make tough men, tough men make easy times, easy times make soft men, soft men make hard times. In this day and age when little fruits get their feelings hurt because you call them by the correct pronoun that they don’t like. Sounds like very rough times in our near futures.

Go to any police force in this country, and a number of other countries, and you will find USMC vets among their number. Similarly, go to virtually any prison, and you will find USMC vets there too. Just because you are a brave man doesn't necessarily mean you are a saint. Or even a good person. Legend aside there have been many, many Texas rangers who were criminals and the very worst sort of human beings. James Brown "Killer" Miller is an excellent example of that fact. But far from the only example. In addition, the "Legendary" Ranger who brought down Bonnie and Clyde, Frank Hamer, killed them from ambush. On a lonely road in the middle of nowhere, not knowing that they had betrayed, Bonnie and Clyde stopped their car. And that's when they were shot to pieces. Never even knowing anyone was there. Texas History, when examen in depth, is often not what Texas history books would have you believe. Excellent presentation, Sir. But I doubt you would see it in current Texas classrooms.

There are countless untold stories. Most have either lost in time or covered up by the Texas Rangers themselves. But for the few, like our families who have passed on the sick & painful truth, we refuse to forget the racism we have experienced for years.

Although I no longer live there, I’m an 80-year old fifth generation Texan, where I lived for my first 45 years. A considerable amount of the hatred of which you justly speak comes from the Texas Revolution and the role of Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana and his army’s policy of “no quarter.” Burning down every homestead and village they came across, the massacres at Goliad and the Alamo after being recruited as settlers by the government of México to serve as a bulwark against Comanche raids created burning resentment against any “Mexican.” Also, in 1917, an intercepted message, in “Zimmerman Telegraph” instructed German Ambassador to México, Eric von Eckardt, offered terms to México that if they entered the war against the U.S. as German allies, after victory, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona would be deeded to México as spoils of war. Arrests were made in New Mexico and Texas as Méxican citizens were actively involved in war crimes against the U.S. Government of México never notified the United States of the plot, was omission was an act of war, itself. There were reasons for resentment and mistrust of an historic enemy in Texas.

I live in Southern Cameron County. The picture happened on the Norias division of the King Ranch. The victims were Mexican bandits that were supposedly shot while raiding. Also, supposedly they were dragged by rope to keep away from small poxs. How about doing a story on Jesus Sandoval, "Old Cause" or old Ca-suse, the Tejano that served as a guide for rangers?

[@ontheroadwithtex7991]

They were killed raiding the Norias ranch station in January 1915. They and their fellow bandits (estimated to be about 50) killed a woman (Manuela Flores) working at the ranch who refused to let them rob the ranch storehouse. They also killed local ranchers (George Forbes and Frank Martin), and two of the eight cavalry troopers from Fort Brown were wounded. The defenders of the ranch included Texas Rangers, US Army cavalry, ranch hands, a railroad employee, and a deputy sheriff from Cameron County. The defenders of the ranch believed they killed the bandit leader and three other bandits, and they wounded several others, some of whom might have died later.
