In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

Appendix Roster of Texas Rangers Coleman/Smith Battalion August 1836–April 1838 A new ranger battalion under Coleman Robert Morris Coleman was authorized in August 1836 with three companies under his command. Command of this battalion passed in January 1837 to Major William Henry Smith. During peak enlistment, Smith commanded five different ranger companies on the Texas frontiers. The surviving muster rolls for companies A, B and C have been published in the Daughter of the Republic of Texas’ Muster Rolls of the Texas Revolution for the August–December 1836 period. No other muster rolls for this ranger battalion are known to remain. The balance of the information contained in the following appendix is therefore based on my research of Republic of Texas audited military claims and pension papers filed by these rangers and their commanders. For each company, the key below indicates the unit commander and the period of time he commanded this company. For each ranger, the letter following his name indicates the companies in which he served, in the chronological order of service dates. For example, the entry “B, A” would indicate that the ranger served under Captain Barron’s original Company B and then continued in service in Company A under Barron in 1837.

Walden, August 15–October 5, 1836; First Lieutenant Alexander Robless, October 5–December 31, 1836; Captain Thomas Hudson Barron, January 1–November 1837; and Captain John L.
