SynopsisJohn 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., John Coffee Hays helped to forge the legend of what a Texas Ranger was.

Jack Hays- underrated great Texan, Californian, Tennessean and American
Few Americans know of the actions and success of Jack Hays. Considered the founder of the modern Texas Rangers. His valor and honor and intelligence helped to change the Western history of America. He should be remembered and studied just like other military leaders and citizens of great merit.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
