Louis "Swampy" Graves, a "Texarkana Gazette" reporter in 1946, described Gonzaullas as a handsome man with a lot of personalities. "He was well-built and wore a whipcord suit and a battle jacket with bright buttons. He was very clean-looking, with an olive complexion, and wore pearl-handled pistols, one on each hip. He looked like a typical Texas Ranger," said Graves. "He would have been perfect in the Old West. He fit the description going around in those years about the number of Texas Rangers needed to quell a riot. One Riot, One Texas Ranger."
