Historical Fiction Adventure Fiction American History

Description

In the aftermath of the Civil War, Texas is rich in longhorn cattle but short on opportunity, forcing determined cowmen to drive their herds north along the dangerous Shawnee Trail. Their journey across hundreds of miles of Indian Territory brings flooded rivers, harsh country, hostile encounters, outlaws, and the ever-present threat of violence. Blending rugged adventure, frontier history, and the camaraderie of the trail, this sweeping Western captures the ambition and peril of the great cattle drives. The vivid, fast-paced style delivers a hard-edged portrait of the men who risked everything to turn Texas cattle into a future.
