Mac McClendon, owner of a longhorn cattle empire in South Texas, expected and assumed his four sons to take control of Shiloh Ranch. An unexpected event by the housemaid extended this desire and shattered the hopes and dreams of the family. The harmony and sincere feelings between father and sons no longer existed. He had always taught them the quality or state of being of sound moral principle and sincerity. Their father had misled them and betrayed their mother. She told her four sons she was leaving Shiloh to visit her sister in El Paso and may not return.
