Episode 54 — Tales of the Rangers, Part IV — Mustang Gray

Mabry B. Gray — known to history and legend as Texas Ranger Mustang Gray — is the avatar of the dark side of the Ranging Way of War. If John Stark of Rogers Rangers represents the tough but honorable ideal of a Ranger, Mustang Gray represents the vicious, vengeful, natural-born killer element, giving rein to his darkest impulses in a deadly blood feud.
