About This Book

A small group of young men establish and manage a cattle range on the open plains, staking grazing claims and creating a trail refuge for injured animals. Episodes follow their daily work on drives and round-ups, lessons in reading brands, and the practical tasks of herd care and camp life. Seasonal hardships, weather extremes, rustling threats and occasional scares test their resourcefulness, while details of routine labor and landscape shape a portrait of open-range life and the skills needed to hold and work the country.
