Show Notes
In the early 1870s, the Horrell brothers were involved in the murder of a sheriff, the murders of State Police officers, a jailbreak, and a bloody episode known as the Horrell War in New Mexico before the infamous Lincoln County War. In 1877, they become embroiled in a deadly feud with the Higgins clan until Major John B. Jones dreams up a creative solution. Meanwhile, during the early stages of the problems with the Horrell brothers, a former captain of the State Police, Leander McNelly, creates a militia unit to try to stop the notoriously bloody Sutton-Taylor feud in South Texas.
