Wells in the Valley: Jim Wells rises in South Texas politics

Jim Wells arrives in Brownsville on July 22, 1878 seeking a fresh start. He joins Judge Stephen Powers in his law firm and quickly earns influence among ranchers, winning 20 of 21 cases in a land grant defense. Wells shapes Cameron County politics, helps form regional machines, and faces accusations of violence toward Mexicans and involvement in a sheriff's murder. The piece notes enduring controversy over Wells, his methods, and a legacy tied to South Texas elections.
