Frontier Ranger Dalrymple Led Texas Frontier Talks of His Life
William Cornelius Dalrymple, born 1814 in North Carolina, joins Texas rangers in 1837 defending settlers along the Brazos. He later serves in the legislature, commands frontier units, fights Comanches, and helps herd prisoners and horses during raids. His career spans the republic, Civil War, and state constitutional work, with descendants in San Antonio and Austin.
