Cowboy outlaws wanted them dead, and local authorities sought their imprisonment in a gripping true story from 1887. Between 1886 and 1888, Sgt. James A. Brooks of Texas Ranger Company F faced three deadly gunfights, suffered severe bullet wounds, participated in numerous manhunts, was convicted of second-degree murder, and ultimately received a presidential pardon. His journey is central to an epic narrative of lawmen and criminals in Texas during the decline of the "Old West." Alongside Brooks are diverse members of Company F, from a devout teetotaler to a cowboy evading justice for murder, all led by Captain William Scott, an undercover informant nearing the end of his career. Company F is determined to hunt down criminals across Texas, confident in their ability to deliver "Ranger justice." However, they encounter formidable opposition in the Conner family, notorious East Texas hunters and jailbreakers embroiled in a violent family feud. This account reveals the long-silenced story of Company F's confrontation with the Conners, illustrating a grim reality where neighbors turn into murderers, snitches, and bounty hunters, and the Texas Rangers find themselves in a perilous struggle for survival.
