He strikes a one-sided deal withthe devil, neighbouring rancher Corliss Bilks, to back his play with cattle, men, and horses. The trail brims with hellish hardship: prairie fire, stampede, flooded rivers, hailstorms, rattlers, sickness, long, broiling days and frigid nights. Halfway toMontana, range pirates and a rogue Apache war party close in. Mitch and the boys fight, grim and helpless, watching as their herd is driven westward in a cloud of dust and cackling laughter. Cut down to two bloodied men, Mitch collapses, far too late, and admits the old man has won the bet. But salvation in the form of a Basque sheepherder revives Mitch and his pal, Drover Joe, and Mitch realises he isn't done. Not by a long shot. And now he has nothing to lose"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Ranchers $z Texas $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Cattle drives $v Fiction. $9 87165 650 0 $a Frontier and pioneer life $z West (U.S.) $v Fiction. $9 87674 650 0 $a Large type books. $9 72061 655 7 $a Western fiction. $2 lcgft $9 188387 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft $9 200624 941 $a 16 945 $a lpt 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409043416.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305021917.0 952 $l SJPB094 $d 20231226010854.0 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20231025014126.0 952 $l VIPA334 $d 20230822010540.0 952 $l AJPE887 $d 20230713013858.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20230404015428.0 952 $l HIPC765 $d 20230331010644.0 952 $l ZYPE837 $d 20230302023816.0 952 $l RFPC397 $d 20230127010301.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230104010326.0 952 $l FDPC194 $d 20230103010324.0 952 $l VGPC334 $d 20221213010350.0 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20221122012253.0 952 $l WMPC185 $d 20221121131238.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20221004014639.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=478DA14043AD11EDBF5B08455EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
