The Goodnight Trail

Description

Three former Texas Rangers—Benton McCaleb, Will Elliot, and Brazos Gifford—join legendary cattleman Charles Goodnight on a perilous drive from the Trinity River toward Denver, guiding thousands of longhorns through the untamed post–Civil War frontier. Flooded rivers, harsh desert country, hostile encounters, and the constant threat of violence test the men and their herd at every turn. Along the way, they cross paths with infamous figures including Judge Roy Bean and gunslinger Clay Allison, adding fresh danger to an already brutal journey. Blending historical characters, hard-riding action, and the rugged realities of the open range, this vivid Western captures the courage, endurance, and ambition behind the great cattle drives.
