Here is a bit of an overview of the Kinnison series. Jed
Kinnison is a successful cattle rancher in a small community
of End of the Line, Montana. He meets and falls in love with
a woman who steals his heart, then abandons him and her boys
a year after they marry and after he's adopted the two boys.
Less than a year later, when tragedy takes the life of Jed's
sister and brother-in-law, he becomes a father once more to
his only nephew. These three misfit boys, under Jed's
watchful eye and care, learn all there is to know about
running a ranch, respecting the earth, and giving back the
blessings, you've been given. Struggling to overcome their
individual emotional obstacles the three grow into
formidable men and when Jed passes, they are left as his
legacy--left to fulfill the dream he had of making the Last
Hope ranch a "working ranch" where the lost and wounded.
Where, like his "sons," those needing a place to heal could
do so with hard work and the beauty of nature as tools for
their recovery.
Jed and his sons are men of the earth. Their hands are
scarred and calloused, their skin is bronzed by the sun.
They have a respect for traditions, the mountains, woods and
fields is engrained into every fiber of their being. Because
they understand that when you take care of the land it will
take care of you.
