Jesse Lee Hall (1849-1911) was one of many young men seeking a new
life following the Civil War, when he left North Carolina to find
adventure in Texas. After a stint as a deputy sheriff and a
Sergeant-at-Arms in the House of Representatives, he joined Captain
Leander McNelly's Texas Ranger Special State Troops in 1876. This
was the career move that he had needed as he soon found enough
action in South Texas.When McNelly could no longer command due to
illness, Hall was named to take his place. Hall was involved in
arresting King Fisher and his gang, and he (with a small squad)
arrested seven of the Sutton faction, effectively ending the bloody
Sutton-Taylor Feud. One of his men, John B. Armstrong, finally
captured the most wanted man in Texas, John Wesley Hardin, in
far-off Florida. In 1878 Hall took part in the gun battle ending
the career of outlaw Sam Bass. Nearing his fiftieth birthday, Hall
hoped to join Teddy Roosevelt's 'Rough Riders,' but that did not
happen. Instead he was posted to the Philippines, where as a
commander during the Philippine Insurrection he was so badly
injured that he was given a medical discharge. The old warrior died
in San Antonio in 1911, loved and respected, having a reputation
equaled by few.
