TEXIANS Period Piece ⋄ Western Texas’ very survival was at stake during a five-year period (1835-1840) when its colonists, “Texians,” endured a perfect storm of hostilities, including relentless Comanche raids and a war for independence against Mexico. Three interwoven storylines — the harrowing survival tale of Rachel Plummer’s 21 months in Comanche captivity, young Captain Jack Coffee Hays’ transformation of the Texas Rangers into an elite fighting force, and Texas’s Revolutionary War — unflinchingly depict the war birthing of an independent state.
