Book excerpt: Looking to take advantage of free land in Texas offered by Stephen Austin, Luke Kincaid and Jim Bowie headed west in hopes of becoming ranchers. Luke was successful in establishing his ranch with land he acquired on the banks of the Brazos River. With the help of his new found friend and foreman, Irish, Luke's ranch flourished, but not without testing his courage and dedication to Texas. He soon learned that life on the frontier was a constant challenge. He found himself at odds with Comanches, Comancheros, Mexican Federales and Gringo outlaws. Luke fought along side Sam Houston at San Jacinto, served under Captain Rip Ford of the Texas Rangers, partnered with Bigfoot Wallace to escape a Mexican prison and came face to face with the evil El Gigante of the Comancheros.
