I got to thinking about Rangers. They sound like a cool batch, wandering the wilderness, defending the Shire. But - and maybe I just don't know because I haven't read up on all my Histories yet - where do the Rangers come from? Who all were they fighting, just the bullies from Deadman's Dike and whatnot? Were they Gondorians? What compelled them to go out into the Wild? Where did they go after Aragorn's crowning?
