As the originator of this post...and a 3rd generation Texan (makes my kiddos 4th and grands 5th) plus from South Texas...Kozmo you are correct. In fact the Texas Rangers were initially deployed to South Texas to control the Indians and later cattle rustling from Texas into Mexico. I will ask my son to find out more about the time frame, etc. of this movie.Hmm, reading the web page for this I can't help but nitpick just a little. I was curious about the time frame for this mini film. The title "powder horn" made me think it is in fact a reference to the mid 1800's, likely prior to the civil war. The rifle and clothing of the actor in the pic above would point in this direction, I think. If that's reasonably accurate, the setting of the film, the nueces river, runs to the gulf through what was very rugged and hostile country for much of the 19th century. In the 1840s through to the 1870s it was certainly "Indian country" in all senses of the term. Not a place I would expect a cowhand to be travelling or moving livestock as it was so far from the settlements of central Texas (San Antonio, Austin, Seguin, etc) and so very dangerous. I know it's a minor detail, and I am curious about the story. I hope they are able to produce it.
I believe concrete goes back at least as far as the Roman Empire.I think the concrete slab would still be a giveaway.
