From one of the West's greatest living storytellers, winner of several awards, like the Golden Spur, the Saddleman, and the Western Heritage Award, here is Elmer Kelton's rousing novel of the Canadian River cowboy strike of 1883.
This was cowboy country once: a land of hardworking hands who rode for the brand come hell or high water. Now a different breed is moving in--big outfits backed by Eastern syndicates and run by power-hungry "managers," men who figure to produce a profit, even if this means crowding a cowboy too much...
Hugh Hitchcock tried to keep carefully the peace between rancher and cowboy, however when push came to shove the wagon boss knew where his loyalties lay. And when the ranchers stole his cattle, when they lynched his friend and hired a back shooter to place him in his grave, he kept on fighting...because even is they took everything he previously, they couldn't touch his pride--or his willingness to fight to the bloody end.
