The Tales of the Texas Rangers was a Western-themed adventure drama heard over NBC Radio from July 8, 1950 to September 14, 1952. The lead character Jayce Pearson, a Texas Ranger, was portrayed by American film actor Joel McCrea. The show followed Pearson’s adventures of identifying and tracking down criminals, through the help of his horse Charcoal (aka “Charky”). It is said that each episode was based on actual cases, with Captain Manuel Gonzaullas, who served as a Ranger for three decades, as the show’s main consultant.
The series had its television adaptation aired from 1955 to 1957, wherein the role of Pearson was given to actor Willard Parker. Click here to read more about Tales Of The Texas Rangers
