There is a saying in Texas: "One Riot, One Ranger."
History is filled with accounts of legendary Texas Rangers who brought law
and order to towns torn by blood feuds, and Rangers who fought bravely
against bands of outlaws and Indian war parties to protect the citizens of
Texas.
Time and again, they proved that
one person in the right could triumph over even the greatest odds.

Now, America
Remembers is pleased to announce an exclusive tribute honoring the Texas
Rangers, a handsomely decorated working Single Action Revolver in caliber
.45 Colt. It's a fitting tribute to the many bold Rangers who
trusted their own Single Action revolvers on the dangerous missions they
so often undertook, and celebrates the world-famous Ranger legend. |
Leander McNelly:
"There are only two kinds of people for
us - outlaws and law-abiding. Treat these law-abiding folks with
all respect, regardless of color or size. Don't enter a house
unless the man invites you in. Don't take a roasting ear [of
corn] or melon unless he tells you to. If his dog barks at you,
get away from it. Don't shoot it. Let them know we're
their friends sent down to help them."

The
backstrap features the inscription,
"They Knew Their Duty and They Did
It", based on a famous quote from Ranger John S. "Rip" Ford that neatly
sums up more than 175 years of Ranger history. |

issued in cooperation with the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum in
Waco, Texas, a facility dedicated to promoting appreciation of the Texas
Rangers and preserving the rich and colorful heritage of the Rangers. |

honoring legendary Texas Rangers and the Ranger heritage. Each
Tribute revolver is decorated by America's most talented craftsmen under

The cylinder features portraits of six legendary Texas Rangers......Maj.
John Jones, served as commander of the Frontier Battalion and later as
adjutant general of the Texas Rangers. Capt. Leander McNelly fought
tirelessly against border bandits, showing no mercy to outlaws and no
patience for vigilantes. Sgt. John B. Armstrong, nicknamed "McNelly's
Bulldog" - whose arrest of killer John Wesley Hardin remains one of the
most famous showdowns in Ranger history. Capt. Bill
McDonald believed that "No man in the wrong can stand against a fellow
who's in the right and keeps on a-comin'." Capt. Dan Roberts spent
most of his life in one Texas battle or another, fighting in numerous
border wars, the Civil War and many Ranger campaigns. Sgt. James B. Gillett
battled Kiowa, Comanche and Apache war parties as a Ranger and
participated in the last recorded Ranger-Indian battle in 1881.
