Between 1886 and 1888, Sergeant James Brooks, of Texas Ranger Company F, engaged in countless manhunts, was convicted of second-degree murder, and rattled Washington, D.C. with a request for a pardon from the U.S. president. His story anchors Joe Pappalardo's epic saga of lawmen and criminals set in Texas during the waning years of the Old West. Alongside Brooks are Company F's rough and tough misfit lawmen, who finally met their match in the Conner family, East Texas master hunters and jailbreakers who were wanted for their part in a bloody family feud.
