Of all the states of the union, few have a history as big or bold as that of Texas. From the heroic battle of the Alamo, where brave frontiersmen fight for independence, to the rise of the Texas Rangers, where fearless volunteers defend their home against outlaws and enemies, the people of Texas are a force to be reckoned with. Among them are Justin Good, a veteran of the War of 1812 trying to organize a "freedom" wagon train for a new state...Frank Hardin, a bandit leader who plans to attack the train for revenge...and Fancy Darrow, the beautiful daughter of a slave owner who must struggle to accept the shocking truth of her birthright. Lovers and dreamers, fighters and schemers, they are determined to live - and die - for what they believe in.
