The Story: TAKING MATTERS INTO YOUR OWN HANDS

Episode 107 | 26m 47sVideo has Closed Captions

Discover three stories of distinct Texans who have taken matters into their own hands.

It's an iconically Texan quality to be independent, self-sufficient, and do what needs doing. This episode explores three distinct Texans who have taken matters into their own hands — a hunter helping his fellow ranchers, an Egyptian-born pitmaster who journeyed to Texas to make his mark in barbecue, and a pair of brothers trying to accurately document the fallen of The Forgotten War.
