John Coffee Hays helped to forge the legend of what a Texas Ranger
was. Arriving in Texas in 1836 but just missing the famous battles
of the Texas Revolution, nineteen-year-old Hays soon had Sam
Houston urging him to join a new group of Rangers. Once out on the
frontier, Hays's careful planning and bold-indeed,
sensational-forays against the Comanches soon earned him a colorful
reputation and a host of nicknames. At twenty-three Hays was
commissioned a captain, and between skirmishes and battles his
survey party marked out much of the area around San Antonio. Hays
was pivotal in the ultimate defeat of the Comanches and led the
Rangers during the Mexican War. Historian James Kimmins Greer lives
in Waco, Texas, home of the Texas Ranger Museum.
