The Goodnight Trail (Trail Drive)

'Compton's convincingly detailed account of folks earning a living the hard way offers readers a chance to hit the trail and not even end up saddle sore.' - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY Former Texas Rangers Benton McCaleb, Will Elliot and Brazos Gifford ride with Charles Goodnight as he rounds up thousands of unbranded cattle for the long drive to Colorado. From the Trinity River brakes to Denver, they'll battle flooded rivers, parched desert, and whiskey-crazed Comanches. For McCaleb and his crew, the drive is a fierce struggle against the perils of an untamed land. A fight to the finish where the brave reach glory - or die hard.
