Texas Mountain Man vs. Comanche Warriors : The Grisly Demise Of Jeff Turner The Indian Hater

The legend of Jeff Turner is well-known throughout South Texas. His tale of vengeance and violence is the stuff of legend. But how does the story end?

After his family was wiped out by the Comanche, Turner took to the warpath, devoting his life to avenging the death of his wife and three sons. For years, he stalked the Texas Hill Country and South Texas, wreaking havoc upon the fearsome Comanche, picking them off one by one. Even the Texas Rangers, the notoriously hard-edged and combative force of gunfighters and lawmen, were unnerved by the brutality of Turner’s tactics.

The tales of how he lived are the stuff of nightmares. But the story of how he died is perhaps the most hellish chapter in Jeff Turner’s blood-curdling story.
