Red Sky Morning: The Epic True Story of Texas Ranger Company F

Sergeant James Brooks's story anchors Jo Pappalardo's Red Sky Morning, an epic saga of lawmen and criminals set in Texas during the waning years of the "Old West." Alongside Brooks were the Rangers of Company F, 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 "Ranger Justice." But Brooks's men met their match in the Conner family, East Texas master hunters and jailbreakers who were wanted for their part in a blood family feud.

The full tale of Company F's showdown with the Conner family is finally being told, with long-dead voices heard for the first time. This truly hidden history paints the grim picture of neighbors and relatives becoming snitches and bounty hunters, and a company of Texas Rangers who waded into the conflict only to find themselves in over their heads-- and in the fight of their lives.
