Jimmie Hughes is a game rancher from Nevada. He was the first mayor of the town of Mesquite and if he ever decides to change careers, he could be a stand-up comedian. His book is full of hilarious (and sometimes touching) stories about his life as a missionary, businessman, and rancher. (My favorite is the tale of the Japanese buffalo hunter. If you ever get to Mesquite, ask him to tell you the story.)
