Description

In the harsh aftermath of the Civil War, a massive herd of longhorns sets out across the untamed West, bound for the markets and railroads where fortunes can be made. The cattlemen and trail hands must endure flooded rivers, barren country, hostile territory, outlaws, and the ever-present threat of violence as they push the herd toward its destination. Blending rugged action with vivid historical detail, this sweeping Western captures the danger, determination, and camaraderie that defined the great trail drives. It is a powerful portrait of men testing their courage against a vast and unforgiving frontier.
