Lone Star Legacy: The Texas Rangers Then and Now Tapa blanda - 2016

Descripción de contraportada
There is no better representation of the best of the West than the Texas Rangers!
From their classic star badge to their bigger-than-Texas reputations, these folks enforced the law in the largest continental territory in America. This book for middle readers chronicles the 200-year history of the Texas Rangers and the changes that took place from the organization's inception to its current incarnation. Rangers were an inclusive group from the very beginning. Emphasis is placed here on the diversity of those who served with the Rangers, including Native Americans, Texans of Mexican heritage, African Americans, and the newest addition--women. Covering the creation of the Rangers as a response to territorial conflict, their role under the Republic, their defense against Mexican invaders, and their evolution during the twentieth century, author Melanie Chrismer has created the perfect resource for the classroom.
A fifth-generation Houstonian and descendant of a real-life Texas Ranger, Melanie Chrismer attended both Texas A&M University and Houston Baptist University. She frequently speaks at schools and libraries, giving presentations on developing writing strategies and the history of Texas as well as roping demonstrations with her practice bull, Medium-Rare. She is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators, Women Writing the West, the Texas Coalition of Authors, and the International Reading Association and the author of the Phoebe Clapsaddle Series from Pelican.
