The Wild West version of Detective comes of age in the 21st century, for the Clickers Club Private Eye Challenge.
Story behind the song
The Texas Ranger
In 1823 Stephen F. Austin hired ten men “to act as rangers for the common defense” in protecting his colonists from Indian raids.
Nearly two centuries later, that group—known as the Texas Rangers—is alive and well, having adapted from being frontier lawmen to an elite investigative force, trading their horses and bedrolls for cell phones and laptops.
For the 117 men, and 1 woman, who now make up the Texas Rangers, a typical day looks more like CSI than The Lone Ranger.
They have cracked many of the state’s most notorious criminal cases, having succeeded in tracking down serial killers, nabbing drug lords, coaxing confessions from rapists and murderers, and bringing corrupt public servants to account.
