Publication: San Antonio: The Naylor Company, 1942,

First edition. Cloth, 236 pp., illus., biblio., index. An excellent biography of a man who spent 28 years in the Texas Rangers, from 1887 to 1915. John R. Hughes was considered by many to be among the greatest Ranger commanders of all time. His early Ranger years were served in south Texas along the Mexican border. "The author tells about the killing of John Wesley Hardin by John Selman, the killing of Bass Outlaw, and the lynching of Jim Miller. Ranger Hughes, like several other writers, believes that Pat Garrett was slain by the notorious killer Jim Miller."---Ramon F. Adams. Near fine, bright copy in the scarce dust jacket that has tiny nicks and chips to the fore-edge of the front flap fold, minor to light wear to the spine ends, corners and extremities
