Description
Tom Candy Ponting was no ordinary trail boss. He didn't smoke, chew, cuss, or even carry a gun. Unlike his competitors, he learned how to herd cows on a farm back in England-and how to handle cowboys in bareknuckle prizefights. He accepted a bet that might live to regret: lead a cattle drive from Texas to New York City. Not one to back down on a dare, Ponting assembled the motliest crew of cowboys ever seen-Texans, Englishmen, Mexicans, Freemen, Cherokee-and charted a course through the unfriendliest country to move seven hundred head of cattle. Along the way, they faced railroads and rustlers, hucksters and hustlers, with detours and dead ends aplenty. If they succeeded, the team would make more than just a whole lot of money - they would make history.
