Avenging Angel

In 1875 Texas Hill Country, Col. Cusack, flanked by two heavily armed men, gives the go-ahead to Bob Quinn:  squatting on Cusack’s land won’t be tolerated.  Quinn and his thugs deliver the Colonel’s message – with guns blazing, as the unarmed homesteaders fall.  Others continue running, trying to outpace their attackers.

          Meanwhile, the wife of the local Preacher lovingly helps him prepare for Sunday morning services at their small church, unaware of the mayhem happening not far away.  At the service, the Preacher proudly introduces his wife, Sarah, and young daughter, Rachel, to the congregation.  As he delivers his sermon, gunshots are heard, as Quinn’s men fire on the escaping homesteaders.  With nowhere else to go, they take refuge in the church. more
