  We present deep I, J_s, K_s imaging and optical spectroscopy of the newly
discovered Red-Sequence Cluster Survey cluster RCS043938-2904.9. This cluster,
drawn from an extensive preliminary list, was selected for detailed study on
the basis of its apparent optical richness. Spectroscopy of 11 members places
the cluster at z=0.951 +- 0.006, and confirms the photometric redshift estimate
from the (R-z) color-magnitude diagram. Analysis of the infrared imaging data
demonstrates that the cluster is extremely rich, with excess counts in the
Ks-band exceeding the expected background counts by 9 sigma. The properties of
the galaxies in RCS043938-2904.9 are consistent with those seen in other
clusters at similar redshifts. Specifically, the red-sequence color, slope and
scatter, and the size-magnitude relation of these galaxies are all consistent
with that seen in the few other high redshift clusters known, and indeed are
consistent with appropriately evolved properties of local cluster galaxies. The
apparent consistency of these systems implies that the rich, high-redshift RCS
clusters are directly comparable to the few other systems known at z ~ 1, most
of which have been selected on the basis of X-ray emission.
