FWIW, most pictures I've seen of Texas Rangers, esp. ca. 1850-60s, show them with many weapons: pistols, tomahawk, Bowie or other knife, carbine or other rifle/musket: they must have wreaked havoc.

Major Evans Some even carried swords, which seems kind of un-ranger-like to me or maybe just too gentlemanly. I guess they just grabbed and used weapons that worked for them. |
