About This Book

The story follows a Texas cowpuncher whose rivalry with a fellow rider unfolds amid saloon confrontations, gambling, and a bucking contest. A nearby train wreck and subsequent accusations lead to an arrest and a desperate flight through badlands and buttes, during which friends, rescues, and scouting missions reveal loyalties and moral tests. Episodic chapters balance action on the range with quiet moments of planning, culminating in a final contest that resolves the feud and ends the trail.
