The final opening of the Indian lands in what is now part of present-day Oklahoma was a turbulent time. Luther and Fionna McCracken and their children sought a new beginning on the Medicine Bundle Grasslands, hoping to escape past unhappiness. Instead, they found themselves caught up in a struggle against both the law and lawless they couldn't ignore if they were to make their dreams a reality. The final crushing dilemma came when their son joined the ranchers who were fighting to stop what they saw as an invasion by the homesteaders. And when the boy's rebellion turned to outright banditry, the McCrackens had to face the catastrophic consequences.
