“Act of Congress approved June 15, 1832, authorized the President to raise a battalion of 600 mounted rangers to serve on the frontiers.”  Rangers were to be “Active men, under 40 years of age, capable of enduring all the fatigues of arduous service.”  The following list from the National Archives was made from the first muster rolls at Fort Gibson, Oklahoma.  Most of the men were enlisted by Jesse Bean from his own Batesville, Independence Co., Arkansas area.  Possibly many were future Oklahomans.
