Border Boss: Captain Hughes and the Texas Rangers
The book Border Boss by Tack Martin tells how Captain John R. Hughes, erstwhile Texas Ranger, lived a colorful life from a Liberty Hill ranch to hunting horse thieves across the Southwest. Hughes, who split time between Austin and El Paso, helped recover stolen stock and joined the Rangers in 1887, serving nearly four decades. The tale credits E. E. Townsend and W. Van Sickles for historical material while noting Hughes’s early years, horse-breaking, and pursuit of outlaws in the Big Bend region.
