Synopsis:
True to his word after being plagued by violent crimes in Fort Smith, Eli prepares his big family for their move to Tulsa, Indian Territory, and their new ranch.
They carry Little Duck's coffin with them, and bury her on the new land. After her burial, life on Crow Ridge begins anew with two kid goats being born. Hopes are high for their new life out here.
Eli had moved his family from Fort Smith to get away from the violence that caused them sadness and heartache.
Heartache travels the same trail as the Crow family, and will soon catch up with them at their new home.

Part Two
Chapter Twenty-Three:
Upon their return to Fort Smith, Eli, Duncan and Moses go straight to the courthouse to tell Judge Parker they didn't find any sign of the cattle rustlers because of all the rain.
They meet Jefferson on their way to the judge's chambers; he informs them of a jailbreak that occured late the day before.
The Crow family suffers a deadly onslaught of extreme violence.
“Moses, I’m done. You and Duncan can do whatever you want. I’m tellin' Judge Parker tomorrow and turnin' my badge in,” Eli said as he stared down at the muddy, swirling water.

'The Legend of Eli Crow'
Part Two:
Chapter Twenty-two
Eli, Duncan and Moses ride northwest, toward Black Mesa,in search of cattle rustlers who have been driving
stolen cattle out of Kansas, through Indian Territory
and down into Texas.
They travel for two days in a pouring rain before finding shelter.
When the rains stop on the fourth day, the Cimarron River Basin is flooded.
Just when they are about to decide they'll never find the rustlers or any sign of them or the cattle, they find the rustlers holed up in a small box canyon. After a brief exchange of gunfire, they make the arrest.
This time, Eli decides to serve up his own brand of justice.
