- Synopsis
- FROM THE BACK COVER: 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, blazing trail drives. Lou Spencer, Dill Sumner and their fourteen Texas cowboys brought a herd up to Independence Missouri and sold half to a wagon train heading West. Then the Texans hired on, leading the battling greenhorn pioneers across the Missouri River, across Nebraska Territory, and into the wilds past Forts Laramie and Bridger. With winter closing in Spencer's men were running out of time to reach the wide open land of Oregon. And with a fortune in gold hidden in one of the pilgrim's wooden wagons, and outlaws circling like wolves, there were miles of shooting and dying still ahead.
