About Captain Bill McDonald, Texas Ranger- A Story of Frontier Reform

Immerse yourself in the thrilling life of William Jesse Bill McDonald (1852 - 1918), a legendary figure in the American frontier. From his humble beginnings as a deputy sheriff in Wood County in the 1880s, McDonald climbed the ranks, serving as a special Ranger, a U.S. Deputy Marshal, and ultimately the Captain of Company B, Frontier Battalion. His daring exploits include infamous cases such as the Fitzsimmons-Maher prize fight, the Wichita Falls bank robbery, and the Reese-Townsend feud, earning him a reputation as a formidable gunman and a man who would charge hell with a bucket of water. Bear witness to his stints as bodyguard to two U.S. Presidents, Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, and his appointment as U.S. Marshal for the Northern District of Texas by Wilson himself.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
