In the sweltering heat of a Texas summer, chaos erupted in Longview on June 8, 1908. The air was thick with tension as a group of cattle men clashed with the Furry brothers, Ike and Job, two African American men accused of attempting to shoot at local ranchers. The altercation began at the courthouse, where the brothers were preparing to post bail for their alleged crime.
