Sinopsis

In his Reminiscences of a Ranger, Horace Bell reports that “midnight raids and open day robbery and assassinations of defenseless or unsuspecting Americans were of almost daily occurrence” in southern California, a territory newly acquired from Mexico. To combat this lawlessness, in 1853 the citizens of Los Angeles formed a volunteer mounted police force known as the Los Angeles Rangers. Under the command of Captain Alexander Hope, the Rangers strove to keep the peace within the city, and they hunted down bandits and murderers in the surrounding region, including several connected with Joaquin Murrieta’s band.
