O knihe
Naturally self-effacing and deferential, Captain John Reynolds
Hughes is not as famous today as his publicity-hog
contemporary Captain Bill McDonald. Yet, Texas Rangers of the
late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries considered him an
authentic hero, a straight-ahead lawman that did his job and left the
talking to journalists. Hughes became a ranger in 1887, serving in
the celebrated Frontier Battalion. In 1900, he won appointment as
captain in command of Company D. During his long career he served
primarily along the Texas-Mexico border where his word became
law. State offi cials subsequently promoted him senior captain,
moving his headquarters to Austin. Hughes retired in 1915-having
served as ranger and captain longer than any man on the force.
This State House Press reprint of Border Boss makes this Texas
classic available to a new generation of readers and introduces them
to one of the bravest rangers who ever sported the cinco peso.
