The McGavin brothers were born in Texas in the 1860s. Their father was a rancher, and the boys grew up learning the ways of the cowboy. They were both skilled horsemen and ropers, and they quickly became known for their bravery and sense of justice.

In 1876, the McGavin brothers joined the Texas Rangers. The Rangers were a law enforcement agency that patrolled the vast expanses of Texas. The McGavins quickly became some of the most respected Rangers in the state. They were known for their courage and determination, and they always stood up for what they believed in.

In 1881, the McGavin brothers were involved in one of the most famous gunfights in Texas history. The gunfight took place in the town of Mason, and it involved the McGavins, two other Rangers, and a group of outlaws. The outlaws were led by a man named John Selman, who was wanted for murder. The McGavins and the other Rangers were outnumbered, but they fought bravely. In the end, the outlaws were defeated, and Selman was killed.

The gunfight in Mason made the McGavin brothers even more famous. They were now known as two of the toughest and most fearless cowboys in the West. They continued to serve as Rangers for several more years, and they always fought for what they believed in.

In 1890, the McGavin brothers retired from the Rangers. They settled down in Texas, and they both became successful ranchers. They continued to live by the code of the West, and they were always respected for their bravery, loyalty, and sense of justice.

The McGavin brothers were true cowboys. They lived by the code of the West, and they always stood up for what they believed in. They were brave, loyal, and honorable men, and they left a lasting legacy in the history of the Old West.

The Code of the West

The code of the West was a set of unwritten rules that governed the behavior of cowboys. These rules included:

• Be brave. Cowboys were expected to be brave in the face of danger.
• Be loyal. Cowboys were expected to be loyal to their friends and family.
• Be honest. Cowboys were expected to be honest in their dealings with others.
• Be just. Cowboys were expected to stand up for what they believed in, even if it meant putting themselves in danger.
• Be respectful. Cowboys were expected to be respectful of others, even those who were different from them.

The code of the West was a demanding one, but it was also a code of honor. Cowboys who lived by the code were respected by their peers and feared by their enemies. They were the epitome of the Old West, and they left a lasting legacy in the history of the United States.
