If little is known about James Huckins, then historical material about his fellow missionary, pastor, and Baylor University co-founder William Milton Tryon is nearly nonexistent. Yet, as Eugene Baker's compassionate tale illustrates, Tryon left a long-felt legacy among his contemporaries and those Baptists yet to come.

James Huckins played a pivotal role in the advancement of the Baptist cause throughout Texas, including the founding of Baylor University.
