The feud between the Rutledges and the Bannings began during the Civil War ... And continued bitter and deep-rooted into the 80's when young Bob Rutledge left the bullet-laced Texas Range - for the fresh grasslands of Montana ... But the lawless Bannings also sought new graze and followed hot on his trail. When Bob Rutledge raised a 7-wire drift fence to mark his claim, the Bannings challenged him with an army of hired guns ... And the ancient feud began afresh - in a range skirmish that exploded into the bloodiest massacre in Montana history!
