So, John pairs up with two rogue cowboys–Shea Brennan who has just lost his wife and daughter to smallpox and the mysterious Thomas–along with the helpless caravan of immigrants they’re leading, for some extra protection.
And although he and his wife are more than capable of annihilating those that stand in their way, it’s known that the journey out West is full of perilous creatures, unforgiving terrain and Native Americans who are ready to kill to protect the land that’s been theirs for millennia. The only problem is that John Dutton is the only male able to protect his young family. They’re not quite sure where they want to end up, but they do know that the West promises the kind of opportunity they’ve always desired.
See, John Dutton, his wife Margaret, their beautiful teenage daughter Elsa and young son, John Jr., are on their way north with Margaret’s sister and her teenage daughter. Surely a picture of what’s to come.īut the Duttons are just passing through. Here, people are rough and brutal and prone to violence. They’ve just left every comfort they’ve ever known in Tennessee and have arrived in Hell’s Half Acre in Fort Worth, Texas.
And “wild,” in many ways, was too tame a term. But for the brave ones who dared to trek to unknown lands, they knew. That term wasn’t truly understood by those in the North, or the East or down South. Before the West became what it is today, with its buildings and paved roads and civilization, it was wild.
