Synopsis
From bestselling author Ralph Compton-an extraordinary saga of the hard-driving Texans who locked horns with a ruthless railroad baron in a bloody battle for an untamed land. In the aftermath of the Civil War, cash-starved Texans turned to the only resource they possessed in abundance: longhorn cows. Despite the hazards of trailing longhorns across some three hundred miles of Indian Territory, this was the only way to access the railroad... THE WESTERN TRAIL Benton McCaleb and his band of bold-spirited cowboys traveled long and hard to drive thousands of ornery cattle into Wyoming's Sweetwater Valley. They're in the midst of setting up a ranch just north of Cheyenne when a ruthless railroad baron and his hired killers try to force them off the land. Now, with the help of the Shoshoni Indian tribe and a man named Buffalo Bill Cody, McCaleb and his men must vow to stand and fight. Outgunned and outmanned, they will wage the most ferocious battle of their lives-to win the right to call the land their own. Very seldom in literature have the legends of the Old West been so vividly painted. - Tombstone Epitaph, From bestselling author Ralph Compton-an extraordinary saga of the hard-driving Texans who locked horns with a ruthless railroad baron in a bloody battle for an untamed land.

  • McCaleb and his Cattle Drives

    I just started reading it, but like it so far. I read the Goodnight Trail. So I decided to try this one. Goodnight Trail was a tough ride but the guys made it . Benton McCaleb and his outfit set up a ranch north of Cheyenne but a railroad baron was determined to run them out. With the help of the Shoshone Indians and Buffalo Bill Cody they stood and fought them ALL off. McCaleb went to meet President Grant's railroad car and presented the problem to him. Of course he was not aware of it but had his secretary look into it. The issue was solved on Grant's end and McCaleb took care of his end on the ranch. Lots of issues with driving cattle to and from Box Elder Creek. Highly recommended book.
