RANGER'S TRAIL Texas Rangers

They say Texas Rangers are fearless trackers, always finding their man. This full-cast performance brings the rough-and-tumble West to life, complete with spurs, horses, and rifle fire. Rusty Shannon, Civil War veteran and former Texas Ranger, returns to Texas to settle down and raise a family with his fiancée, Josie Monahan. When Josie is killed by the Bascom family, Rusty; Andy Pickard, his 20-year-old friend raised by Comanches; and Len Tanner, an old friend, ex-soldier, and now a Texas Ranger, follow the Bascoms' trail, seeking vengeance. The principal narrator’s grandfatherly voice consistently moves the plot forward. Texas and Southern accents liberally sprinkled with Indian war whoops add texture to this rousing Western.
