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.
