Description

After the Civil War, a determined band of cattlemen undertakes a perilous drive along the Oregon Trail, guiding thousands of longhorns toward the markets of Missouri. Their journey leads through unforgiving country and hostile territory, where treacherous terrain, exhaustion, outlaws, and violent conflict threaten both the herd and the men responsible for it. Set against the raw, lawless landscape of the American West, the novel explores courage, endurance, loyalty, and the high price of opportunity. With vivid action and rugged historical detail, it brings the era of the great trail drives to life.
