| TEXAS RANGERS Ep. 6 | “McNelly’s Rangers” | 31 Jul 2024 | 00:35:05 | |
In November 1875, Captain Leander McNelly makes his most famous and controversial move: he leads his militia company into Mexico and attacks two villages to recover stolen cattle. His actions provoke a standoff with Mexican officials and consternation from his superiors, but his men love his bold strategy. After the events known as the Las Cuevas War, McNelly’s time in command draws to a close. But his lieutenant helps end the Sutton-Taylor feud, and his former sergeant leads the arrest of the infamous outlaw, John Wesley Hardin.

New church leader Brigham Young declares that the Saints must go west to find a place where they can worship in peace. Porter Rockwell becomes the lead scout for the great exodus to Utah Territory.

| OUTLAWS Ep. 1 | John Wesley Hardin: “Hero or Villain” | 26 Jan 2022 | 00:30:03 | |
John Wesley Hardin was the son of a Methodist preacher who grew into one of the most prolific killers in American history. He killed his first man at the age of 15.
