in a darker preserve it is dark

16:35

the story of texas can get a look just

16:37

a little too polished it was a conquest and

16:39

people polished that there were people here the

16:43

spanish and mexican authorities wanted

16:45

to exterminate the patches they created

16:47

the society for the extermination in the barbarians

16:50

so the classic i waited in film oh

16:52

so hungry indians a was

16:55

not really the case well they took steps

16:57

to was a kind of learn from the england and

17:00

then when the texas came in and then intensified if

17:02

you were a ranch in coming out here in the were

17:04

seventies you better have coming out of guns

17:07

because you are an invader or
