SynopsisFrom bestselling author Ralph Compton--an extraordinary saga of the trail-blazing cowboys who made their fortune driving cattle from Texas to the Great Frontier., Former Texas Rangers Benton McCaleb, Will Elliot, and Brazos Gifford ride with Charles Goodnight as he rounds up thousands of ornery, unbranded cattle for the long drive to Colorado. From the Trinity River brakes to Denver, they'll battle endless miles of flooded rivers, parched desert, and whiskey-crazed Comanches. And come face-to-face with Judge Roy Bean and legendary gunslingers like Clay Allison. For McCaleb and his hard-riding crew, the drive is a fierce struggle against the perils of an untamed land. A fight to the finish where the brave reach glory--or die hard.
Benton McNabe, Rebecca Nance, Monte Nance, and Cattle Drives
This is and awesome book, if you can stand to read about the hardships of the cattle drives and their drovers. Charles Goodnight was a strong personality along with Benton McNabe and the other retired rangers that rode with him. All good honest men that helped to make the West what it is today. Highly recommended book.
