\nBetween 1886 and 1888, Sergeant James Brooks, of Texas Ranger Company F, was engaged in three fatal gunfights, endured disfiguring bullet wounds, engaged in countless manhunts, was convicted of second-degree murder, and rattled Washington, D.C., with a request for a pardon from the US president. His story anchors the tale of Joe Pappalardo's Red Sky Morning, an epic saga of lawmen and criminals set in Texas during the waning years of the \u201cOld West.\u201d
\n
\nAlongside Brooks are the Rangers of Company F, who range from a pious teetotaler to a cowboy fleeing retribution for killing a man. They are all led by Captain William Scott, who cut his teeth as a freelance undercover informant but was facing the end of his Ranger career. Company F hunted criminals across Texas and beyond, killing them as needed, and were confident they could bring anyone to \u201cRanger justice.\u201d But Brooks\u2019s men met their match in the Conner family, East Texas master hunters and jailbreakers who were wanted for their part in a bloody family feud.
\n
\nThe full story of Company F\u2019s showdown with the Conner family is finally being told, with long-dead voices being heard for the first time. This truly hidden history paints the grim picture of neighbors\u2019 and relatives\u2019 becoming snitches and bounty hunters, and a company of Texas Rangers who waded into the conflict only to find themselves over their heads\u2014and in the fight of their lives.
