Rick; I saw your message on the Gillspie line and, since I am the editor of a military history journal, your information regarding the Texas Rangers was interesting. Have you given any thought to writing an article about the early Texas Rangers, their uniforms, arms, equipment and accomplishments? I suspect the Texas State Library might have images of Walker and Gillespie that you might use if you think you have the makings of an author. Best regards, Dave Sullivan Editor Military Collector and Historian The Journal of the Company of Military Historians Fall meeting, by the way, is at San Antonio!
