Summary

"Hewey Calloway and his brother Walter leave the family farm in 1889 to find work in the West Texas cow country. Hewey convinces Walter to join him on a mission for Tarpley, driving 600 head of cattle from beyond San Antonio to the Double-C ranch on the Pecos. The journey is both memorable and dangerous: a murderous outlaw is searching for Hewey, and another ruthless character is determined to sabotage the cattle drive. When the drovers reach the Pecos they find Boss Tarpley in a feud with Eli Jessup, a neighboring cowman. Hewey and his brother Walter have to get the herd across Jessup's land--but how?"--From the publisher's web site
