About This Book

A jocular young cow-puncher dismissed for being a perennial joker confronts a sudden outbreak of cattle theft that leaves butchered hides on the range. Conflict with the stern foreman forces him to abandon levity and demonstrate competence, and the story follows his transition from gambler and prankster to a determined member of the outfit who pursues thieves and helps safeguard the herd. Scenes sketch daily ranch routines, the harsh prairie weather, financial pressures, and the practical skills and moral choices required of men who work and travel across open country.
