Texas – A Ranger
It is not shocking, for any reason, that the oldest photo ever documented in the state of Texas is of a ranger. Back in the 1840s, not only was Samuel Hamilton Walker a ranger, but he also served in many military positions. He has served with the force for many years as a captain and a member of the law team.
He was working in one of his many military positions by the time he posed for this 1846 photograph. Back then, alongside Samuel Walker, he managed to design and produce a gun, which made his name forever etched in history.
