The first Rangers in this area were under the command of Captain Jeff Maltby in Major John B. Jones command of the Frontier Battalion in 1874. Under Maltby, Company E, was divided, one part using the Santa Anna mountains as their campground. One of his men, C. M. Grady tells of the Ranger camp at what came to be known as Milligan Crossing on Home Creek. Many of these stouthearted young Rangers remained here after their terms of service ended, helping civilize the area. Names such as Armstrong, Sackett, Elkins, Cross, Grady, and Cheatam figure large in the history of Coleman County. These were some of the men who founded the Texas Ex-Rangers Association in 1920. These old Indian fighters held annual reunions at various cities around the state: San Antonio, San Saba, Menard, Ranger, and others. As in their Ranger days, the gatherings were not big on organization and circumstancethey were reunions rather than meetings.
