Rupert Hughes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rupert Hughes (1872—1956) and his life are documented extensively in the book Rupert Hughes: A Hollywood Legend (1997) by James O. Kemm. Hughes was a historian, author, director, and composer. He was also the uncle of the famed Howard Hughes. His three volume scholarly biography of George Washington broke new ground in demythologizing the general and was well received by historians.
Hughes, active in civil politics, was one of the founders of the California State Guard in 1940.
