Western
An extraordinary saga of the trail-blazing cowboys who made
their fortune driving cattle from Texas to the great
frontier. Hard-riding Texans were braving mountains, desert
and Indian war-- for the promise of a golden land called
California... Missouri was closed to Texas cattle. Santa Fe was closed by
murder. Now, they had one choice: cross desert mountains and
hostile Indian land-- to a place called California...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. For the ranchers riding with Rand Hayes, things had gone
from bad to worse. The Santa Fe man who'd contracted five
thousand head of cattle was dead-- murdered by renegades.
Now the Texans had a herd of longhorns and only one choice:
cross two mountain ranges and the Mojave Desert to the
gold-fevered market at Los Angeles. A trail blazed by
ancient Spaniards, this was a route that would lead through
a brutal, wondrous land, where a hostile Ute nation was only
one danger the cattle drive faced, and California was a
shooting war away...
