A Ranger Recollects 



The year is 1859- We are now visiting a man 
who has had many adventures and experiences 
in the Young West of a growing America. 
Please take the small chair on the veranda. 
You will notice the mayor and the editor of 
the local newspaper. They are here among the 
many guests to listen to our hero as he spins 
his true story. 

"At the time of my arrival in Texas, the 
country was in an unsettled state. For a long 
period of time a system of border warfare had 
existed between the citizens of Texas and Mexi- 
co — growing out of the Declaration of Inde- 
pendence on the part of the young Republic. 
Marauding parties from beyond rhe Rio Grande 
kept the settlers of western Texas in a state of 
constant agitation and excitement. 

Besides these annoyances, the. inhabitants of 
others sections were perpetually on the alert to 
defend themselves against the Indians. This 
condition of affairs necessarily resulted into a 
desire to have strong protection. So the Texas 
Rangers were created, a military order as pecu- 
liar as it has become famous. 

The qualifications necessary in a genuine. 
Ranger was pot, in many respects, such as are 
required in the ordinary soldier. Discipline, in 
the common acceptance of the term, was not 
regarded as absolutely necessary. A fleet horse, 
an eye that could detect the trail, a power of 
endurance that defied fatigue, and the faculty 
of "looking through the double sights of his 
rifle with a steady" arm" — these distinguished 
the Ranger, rather than any special knowledge 
of tactics. He was subjected to no "regulation 
uniform." However, his usual clothing were 
buckskin moccasins and overhauls, a round- 
about and red shirt, and a cap manufactured by 
his own hands from the skins of the coon or 
wildcat; also two or three revolvers and a 
bowie knife in his belt and a short rifle on 
his arm. 

In this guise, and well mounted, he could 
cover eighty miles between the rising and set- 
ting sun. And then gathering his blanket 
around him, He down upon the prairie grass 
with his saddle for a pillow. The compensation 
received from the government at that time was 
one dollar a day. Finding no other employment 
which seemed to me more remunerative or at- 
tractive I joined Captain Cameron at San 
Patricio. 

Captain Cameron was a Scotchman, a noble 
and brave man, who very early in bis life had 



left his native country and established himself 
on the banks of the Nueces. During the distur- 
bances which distracted the country, his intelli- 
gence, chivalry and force of character drew 
the attention of his fellow citizens towards him. 
They felt he was one upon whom they might 
lean for protection. 

His company consisted of forty-five men. My 
first experience in Indian warfare was an 
engagement with a roving band of Comanches 
whom we suddenly encountered near Casa 
Blanca, during one of our excursions beyond 
the Nueces. They were put to flight after a 
sharp exchange of bullets on one side and 
arrows on the other. Not however, until I had 
become most emphatically impressed with a 
due sense of their brave" and warlike character. 
They are a numerous and powerful tribe whose 
range extends from the headwaters of - the 
Guadaloupe to the base of -the Rocky Mount- 
ains. » 

A short time subsequent to this adventure 
we obtained information that a considerable 
body of Mexicans had crossed the border and 
were somewhere in our vicinity. While on the 
lookout for them, we met the forces under 
General Davis at Panta Clan one day. His com- 
pany having listened to extravagant rumors re- 
lative to the great numbers of Mexicans on the 
march, had become alarmed. During the night, 
most of them flocked to our encampment near 
by. We were all discussing the probable where- 
abouts of the enemy. 

And where were they? At this very time, 
that we were trying to figure out their location, 
they were crawling into the camp. They seized 
every description of property they could lay 
their hands on, and retired without loss or 
molestation. The next morning they presented 
themselves and offered battle. Though far out- 
numbering our united forces, we compelled 
them to retreat after a battle of two hours. And 
we took from them, in addition to the spoils 
of the previous night, more than forty mules. 

It was not long after the Panta Clan en- 
gagement, while we were in the vicinity of 
Seguin, that Ben McCuIlough, with sixteen 
others, including myself, were detached from 
the main body of Rangers, and sent out as 
spies. McCuIlough was a brave fellow — a tall 
straight man, over six feet high, rawboned, 
light sandy hair, extremely reserved in manner, 
with keen black eyes that shone like diamonds. 

We presently struck a wide trail leading to 



the south, and following it soon came in sight 
of some seven hundred Comanches near the 
Lavaca River. Unable to cope with so formid- 
able a body, we hovered in their vicinity, keep- 
ing them constantly under observation. They 
continued their march in the direction of the 
coast until they reached at length the settlement 
of Lindville on Matagorda Bay. This they at- 
tacked and burned. They killed some persons 
and took others away as prisoners. 

From a distant height we witnessed this af- 
fair, entirely unable to render any effectual 
resistance. Runners, however, were dispatched 
in hot haste to General Burleson on the Colo- 
rado, conveying information of what had hap- 
pened, and requesting reinforcements at once. 
True to his chivalrous nature, General Burle- 
son, who never waited a second call when 
danger was to be met, sent forward as many 
men as he could So that by the time he had 
tracked the marauders on their retreat as far 
as Plum Creek, our numbers 'had increased to 
three hundred. 

In concluding upon the plan of attack, our 
great object was to rescue the prisoners. It was 
ascertained as we anticipated, that they were 
with the old warriors in the rear of the en- 
campment. A portion of our force, accordingly, 
made a wide circuit, and then quickly made the 
attack. They managed to rescue alive two of the 
prisoners. 

As I approached with another detachment 
of my comrades from a different direction, a 
buckshot struck me near the elbow passing up 
the arm to the shoulder blade where it yet re- 
mains. It was my bridle arm, causing me to 
drop the rein and consequently my horse start- 
ed to carry me into the midst of the enemy! 
Seeing my perilous situation, the Rangers rush- 
ed alter me without awaiting the word of 
command. There was a terrible confusion but 
it ended in victory for our side. We also re- 
covered all the property stolen from- Lindville. 

My six months' term of service under Cam- 
eron now expired. And bidding him farewell, 1 
journeyed to San Antonio, and from there to 



Seguin on the Guadeloupe wfc*r* I had taken 
up my residence. The business I adopted for 
a livelihood was then a common one in that 
region, the capturing of wild horses. And after 
breaking them to the saddle or harness, we 
disposed of them to the planters. Sometimes I 
purchased from the Mexicans those horses 
which had already been subdued. And collect- 
ing a drove I would set out on a sort of horse- 
peddling speculation. 

Frequently those trips extended into Louisi- 
ana where profitable customers were generally 
to be found among the cotton and sugar grow- 
ers on the bayous. They usually cost me when 
purchased, four or five dollars a head and 
were sold for a price ranging from fifteen to 
thirty. So that with industry and good Iwek. it 
was capable of being made a profitable occu- 
pation. 

I had arranged with Ben McCuHoogh to go 
on the famous Santa Fe Expedition. In fact, 
I accompanied it a long distance above Aqetm, 
but there I became prostrated with a violent 
attack of chills and fever. I was induced most 
relunctantly to turn heck. So retracing my steps 
to Austin, I lingered idly in the neighborhood 
of the Colorado until health returned. Perhaps 
it was fortunate for me that all this happened. 
For the Santa Fe Expedition had an uofertunate 
end. 

Then came another call to arms. Thw I en* 
tered on my second campaign as a Texas 
Ranger by joining feck Hays at San Antonio. 
When we meet again I shall tell you more of 
my adventures as a member or the Texas 
Rangers. It is not praise 1 give to myself when 
I say to you, that man for man, the finest 
mounted fighters or soldier in die entire world 
is a Texas Ranger. 

1 regret having to stop now, be* yon can 
understand that rest is necessary lor me. For 
1 have not completely recovered from my 
wounds which I suffered fighting the Jodaam 
and the Mexicans."

My name is Charles Atlas. Of course, I can't promise that you'll 
win the title of "World's Most Perfectly Developed Man," as I 
did. But I do say that I believe I can make a mighty powerful 
He-Man out of you - in a very short time. 
In fact, you can prove it to yourself in 7 
days. At my risk, of course. And I have 
good reason for believing I can do it. Be- 
cause during the last 30 years I have turned 
many thousands of weaklings — fellows^ 
who were ashamed of their bodies — , 
into beautifully-proportioned human 
dynamos of strength, energy, and 
tireless endurance . . . with the 
kind of muscular development 
that needn't take "back talk" 
from any one. My big freej 
book will tell you how my se- 
cret of Dynamic Tension may 
be able to do such a job for 
you. Where shall I send your 
copy? There's not a bit of cost 
or obligation on your part. So 
mail the coupon now.
