About This Book

Three boys travel into Wyoming cattle country and encounter a stampeded herd whose dead animal bears the Bar-S brand, revealing a pattern of organized rustling. They infer that thieves have been driving off herds, rebranding cattle, and exploiting local influence to conceal the thefts. Determined to recover the stock, the boys trail the rustlers across prairie corrals, enduring storms, ambushes, and betrayals while laying plans and gathering allies. Their quick thinking and daring maneuvers culminate in a tense corral confrontation that is ultimately resolved when law enforcement arrives to settle the matter.
