JOHN R. HUGHES
(1855 - 1947) Texas Ranger who captured Catarina Garza, who started the "Garza war", also captured Charles F. Dodge and many other most-wanted men. Particularly remembered for his excellent detective skills. Rare A.L.S. 1p. 4to., El Paso, Mar. 22, 1938, to his nephew, in part: "...I don't know when I will leave here for Austin...There don't seem to be anything that matter with me but small pox yellow fever and the itch - and old age - but I don't want to get out on the toad yet...". Two small holes at top affect a few letters of text, else very good.
