B, Texas Observer, 504 West 24th St., Austin, Texas. “We had a little shooting and I walked away” In the turbulent 1870’s the Texas Ranger’s primary duty was to meet the outlaw breeds the embittered Indian, the Mexican bandit, the American desperado on enemy ground, and deliver them safely to the jail door or the cemetery. John Barclay Armstrong sent quite a few customers to both places. Unwelcome Mexicans were promptly and permanently discouraged at Palo Alto Prairie and Las Cuevas. Intransigent redskins were said to fold their teepees at the sound of his name. Among the well known trouble makers he escorted to the calabozo were the notorious King Fisher and bad man John Wesley Hardin. Meanwhile, at home base in Austin, Mollie Durst Armstrong had problems of her own seven little A rmstrongs. So father John B., then about 30 years old, retired from the Rangers to a quieter, more remunerative job, U. S. Marshal. Shortly after, and again with financial progress in mind, he tackled the . cattle business and successfully established the 50,000-acre Armstrong ranch in what is now Willacy Counry. There he lived peacefully and prosperously until his death on May 1, 1913. Again it was proved that a just about anything he set or his family.
