| First Sentence: |
Colt's celebrated revolvers, or, as they are termed on the frontiers, "six-shooters," were first used by Captain Jack Hayes's Rangers in 1843. |
| Last Sentence: |
In the long and bloody war on the Rio Grande between the Rangers and the noted bandit, Juan N. Cortina, the favorite mode of attack by the Texans was a "six-shooter" charge; and the greatest civilizer known on the dangerous border to-day is the reliable and deadly Colt's revolver. |
