Your interest will be captivated by this fascinating yet factual, well-researched narration.
The Career of John Horton Slaughter was that of a full and useful life on the advancing frontier in the Southwest. He and those of his family were among the pioneers in the
development of the cattle industry in South and West Texas, and were a part of the advance with their herds up the Pecos into the virgin territory of New Mexico. John
Slaughter went on to settle at the historic San Bernardino Ranch on the Mexican border at Arizona's southeast corner. Slaughter's early years had given him experience as a Civil War soldier, Texas
Ranger, Indian campaign army scout, and driver on the cattle trails. He later served a term in Arizona Legislature, and was a developer of the town of Douglas, Arizona.
As Sheriff of Tombstone's Cochise County, Slaughter's name gained wide attention as one of the frontier West's most noted fearless and efficient law
officers, in his suppression of rustling, Apache depredations, highwaymen, and the exuberant lawlessness of the mining and cattle towns.
Associates of Slaughter included such frontier personalities as Bigfoot Wallace,
Ben Thompson, James H. Cook, the Earps, Mavericks, Chisums, Generals Miles and Crook, Lew Wallace, Burton Mossman, Tom Horn, Al Siebner, Sam
Bass, John Ringo, Jeff Milton, John Clum, Pete Kitchen, the Apache Kid, Geronimo, Pancho Villa, Ed Schieffelin, and others.
