From fighting off the Crooked Creek Gang in the 1880's to fighting off the bank today. Now, with their backs against the wall, the Jordans confront the very worst with their very best. Troublesome Creek is wry and emotional without being sentimental. It's a cliffhanger about history, loss and the humor and deep character that settled America, and now preside at its unsettling....
