About this listen

Honored by the Western Writers of America (WWA) as one of history's 25 Best Westerns, and based on an actual 1883 Texas cowboys' strike, this Golden Spur Award-winning novel tells the gripping saga of veteran cowboys and upstart cattle lords vying for power and vainly resisting change.

Recipient of Golden Saddleman, Lone Star Lifetime Achievement, and Western Heritage awards, Elmer Kelton is WWA's "Greatest Western Writer of All Time".

Critic Reviews

"Kelton...expands on his reputation with a thoughtful, realistic portrayal of the West, in which carefully drawn characters - not gunplay - drive the action. If there's an heir to the Louis L'Amour legacy, it's Kelton." ( Booklist)
