In Captain Jack Helm, Chuck Parsons explores the life of John
Jackson "Jack" Helm, whose main claim to fame has been that he was
a victim of man-killer John Wesley Hardin. That he was, but he was
much more in his violence-filled lifetime during Reconstruction
Texas. First as a deputy sheriff, then county sheriff, and finally
captain of the notorious Texas State Police, he developed a
reputation as a violent and ruthless man-hunter. He arrested many
suspected lawbreakers, but often his prisoner was killed before
reaching a jail for "attempting to escape." This horrific tendency
ultimately brought about his downfall. Helm's aggressive
enforcement of his version of "law and order" resulted in a deadly
confrontation with two of his enemies in the midst of the
Sutton-Taylor Feud.
