The brothers are polar opposites. Walter pines for a sedate life as a farmer, with wife and children; Hewey is a fiddle-footed cowboy content to work at six bits--75 cents--a day on the Pecos River ranch owned by the penny-pinching C.C. Tarpley. Hewey, who "usually accepted the vagaries of life without getting his underwear in a twist," is fun-loving and whiskey-drinking. He spends every penny he earns and regularly gets into trouble with his boss--and occasionally with the law--often dragging innocent Walter along. When Walter falls in love with a boarding house girl and begins dreaming of a farmer's life, Hewey jumps at the chance to rescue him from this fate worse than death. He convinces Walter to join him on a mission for Tarpley, driving 600 head of cattle from beyond San Antonio to the Double-C ranch on the Pecos. The journey is both memorable and dangerous: a murderous outlaw is searching for Hewey; and another ruthless character is determined to sabotage the cattle drive. When the drovers reach the Pecos they find Boss Tarpley in the midst of a vicious range feud with Eli Jessup, a neighboring cowman. Hewey and his brother Walter have to get the herd safely across Jessup's land-but how?"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Large type books. $9 72061 650 0 $a Cattle drives $v Fiction. $9 87165 651 0 $a Texas, West $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Ranch life $v Fiction. $9 89305 650 0 $a Brothers $v Fiction. $9 80655 650 0 $a Cowboys $v Fiction. $9 83753 655 7 $a Western fiction. $2 lcgft $9 188387 830 0 $a Hewey Calloway novels. $9 228007 941 $a 10 945 $a lpt 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305021917.0 952 $l SJPB094 $d 20231226010854.0 952 $l RUPC135 $d 20231121012004.0 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20231025013958.0 952 $l VIPA334 $d 20230822010541.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20230725010800.0 952 $l ZSPC475 $d 20230404140836.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20230304010609.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20221208010441.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20221101010845.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=85CCCDE259AA11ED98ECE2DC3BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
