The explosive and bloody true history of Texas Rangers Company F reveals the lives of hard men who risked everything to bring justice to a lawless frontier. Between 1886 and 1888, Sergeant James Brooks of Company F faced three fatal gunfights, suffered disfiguring bullet wounds, and engaged in numerous manhunts. He was even convicted of second-degree murder and sought a pardon from the US president, anchoring this gripping narrative. Company F included a diverse group of Rangers, from a pious teetotaler to a cowboy on the run for murder, all led by Captain William Scott, whose undercover experience was nearing its end. The Rangers hunted criminals across Texas, believing they could deliver “Ranger justice.” However, they encountered formidable opposition in the Conner family, notorious East Texas hunters and jailbreakers embroiled in a bloody feud. This account finally reveals the full story of Company F's confrontation with the Conners, bringing to light the long-silenced voices of the past. It depicts a grim reality where neighbors became snitches and bounty hunters, and the Texas Rangers found themselves in a perilous struggle, grappling with the complexities of justice in a violent era.
