About This Book

A group of ranch owners, cowhands and a visiting doctor contend with cattle roundups, stampedes and the everyday demands of running a remote Arizona ranch. The narrative alternates action-packed scenes of trail work and rustler threats with quieter moments that reveal camaraderie, practical skill and wry cowboy humor. Reports of hostile bands and the risks of travel heighten tension and test loyalties, while personal interactions expose differing views of duty, tradition and responsibility. Through episodic episodes of work, danger and reflection, the story sketches life on the range and the resilience required to survive it.
