Bill McDonald (Texas Ranger)
William Jesse McDonald, known as Captain Bill McDonald (September 28, 1852– January 15, 1918), was a Texas Ranger who served briefly as a bodyguard for both U.S. Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, opponents, along with incumbent President William Howard Taft, in the bitter 1912 United States presidential election.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Charles Bennett, "Legendary Lawman Bill McDonald" )〕
==Early years, family, education==
McDonald was born in Kemper County near Meridian, Mississippi, but relocated with his mother, the former Eunice Durham, and other relatives, his sister Mary T. McDonald (McCauley), to east Texas after the American Civil War. His father, Enoch McDonald, had been killed in 1862 in the battle of Corinth, Mississippi.〔It is unclear whether Enoch McDonald was killed in the Siege of Corinth (first battle) or the Second Battle of Corinth, both in 1862.〕 The McDonalds settled on a farm near Henderson in Rusk County. At the age of sixteen, McDonald quarreled with federal officials during Reconstruction and was tried for treason but acquitted through the intervention of future U.S. Representative David B. Culberson.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Harold J. Weiss, Jr., and Rie Jarratt, "McDonald, William Jesse" )〕 He graduated in 1872 from Soule Commercial College in New Orleans, Louisiana. As a young man, McDonald taught penmanship in Henderson until he opened a small store〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Texas Ranger Hall of Fame (State Designated Memorial): William Jesse McDonald )〕 at Brown's Bluff on the Sabine River in Gregg County, Texas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''The Handbook of Texas'': Elderville, Texas )〕 He later established a grocery store in Mineola in Wood County, Texas.〔
