[QUOTE="Toad Jones, post: 3113285, member: 74209"] Give it time Doc to develop the characters and environment of those days to the screen. I do believe their will be a third series before long*. How I wish I could bring back Edna (Eddie to most) Brite* and listen to her story again. She was a little girl in a covered wagon as her family fought Apaches multiple times, Mexican bandits every other day for two years as her Dad sought good land in SW Texas to settle. Then years later she had to content with that no good for nothing murderer and thief Poncho Villa stealing cattle and horses,. Simply amazing how those early pioneers made it. * maybe something along the lines of Longmire except with a character of the TX Rangers. * If the name Brite sounds familiar no surprise b/c she gave millions to TCU and is the founder of Brite Divinity College. She stood 4'9" but the kindest, most loving lady, who was btw, one tough lady.. I asked her. . one time if she had to kill another person in those early days. Her answer speaks of the understated Texas heritage even today saying, I won't go into that paused and said only if I had to. and walked away w/o a word. She had just attended church service ten minutes before. She was in her nineties about that time. The Brites and the Kleburg's were very good friends and together developed some of the best bred horses in the world. Because of her influence the Kleburg's sent many of their children to TCU. Do you know who the Kleberg's are? The King Ranch folks. In her gentle way, she said to me, NEVER ask a fellow Texan how many acres they own because it would embarrass them and it sounded like they were braggin". BTW that still stands today with many old Texan ranchers. [/QUOTE]
