Western
An extraordinary saga of the trail-blazing cowboys who
made their fortune driving cattle from Texas to the Great
Frontier. They left Missouri and were headed to Santa Fe. Standing in
their way was a parched desert, a land of outlaws and
enemies-and one man's dangerous past. He was a wealthy englishman with two beautiful daughters.
They were five dusty texans and a gambling man. And they
were all on the ride of their lives. The only riches Texans had left after the Civil War were
five million maverick longhorns and the brains, brawn and
boldness to drive them north to where the money was. Now,
Ralph Compton brings this violent and magnificent time to
life in an extraordinary epic series based on the
history-making trail drives. The Santa Fe Trail Gavin McCord and his brawling cowboys came to Missouri with
a problem: 3,500 longhorns and not one buyer. That's where
Gladstone Pitkin came in. A man with money and a dream of
ranching in New Mexico, Pitkin bought McCord's cattle and
hired his Texans for a trail drive from Independence to
Santa Fe. But with an ill-fated gambler on the drive, the
courageous, hardened riders weren't just a thousand brutal
miles from Santa Fe-they were heading into a death trap.
