For those of you not on Facebook:
Four Texas Rangers in Rio Grande City, 1887. They are listed on the back as George Parker, J. Walter Durbin, J. W. King, and Robert McNamara.

Here's another I found on his Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/TracesofTexas/ ... =3&theater:
Infamous outlaw queen Belle Starr spent a good portion of her life in Texas. She was interviewed in 1886 by the Dallas News and said this:
"You can just say that I am a friend to any brave and gallant outlaws, but have no use for that stinking coward class of these who can be found in every locality, and who would betray a friend or comrade for the sake of their own gain. There are thee or four jolly good fellows on the dodge in my section, and when they come to my home they are welcome, for they are my friends and would lay down their lives in my defense at any time the occasion demanded and go the full length to serve me in any way."
Doesn't she just look like somebody with whom you wouldn't want to mess?

The Texas Rangers & U. S. Marshalls were a bunch you did not want on your back trail, back in the day. Probably so today as well.

Nice group of Rangers and guess all those Winchesters might be .44-40.
