Border Boss: Captain John R. Hughes - Texas Ranger

John R. Hughes was a legend while alive and even more so after his passing. They don't make people like him anymore. He was a true, dedicated lawman with nerves of steel and the courage to face any and all odds. Read this book and gain an appreciation for the kind of character it took to tame the Wild West with courage and dignity.

I learned a lot about John R. Hughes, Texas Ranger. A man my father met in El Paso in 1940, when my dad worked for the federal bureau of prisons. My dad told me many stories about Mr. Hughes, I wanted to find out if they were true and they were. John R. Hughes was and is a true American hero.

Fascinating tale of a fascinating man.

This is a Christmas present for my husband who loves to read about Texas history and the Rangers.
