Description
Two former Texas Rangers set out on a dusty trek from their ramshackle stock operation near the Mexican border to explore the newly opened territory. With a lot of work and not much success, they're drawn to the promise of freewheeling opportunities. As they journey north, they face troubles, violence, and unfilled yearning. Their story is one of outlaws, Native Americans, and ex-loves, filled with the symptoms of the American Epic. With laconic Texas talk and machismo down pat, the author refreshes heroic clichés with exact observations about cowboy prudery, ignorance, and fear of losing face. This epic love story and adventure follows the men as they navigate the challenges of the open range, their own yearning, and the complexities of the human heart.
