A Grand Old West Adventure

John Howard Forrest, or "Howie" to all who know him, is one of the best cattle-driving men in the west. He can drive a herd of two thousand longhorns from Texas to Abilene and not lose more than two dozen along the trail. But now maybe he's bit off a little more than he can chew. Colonel Wilt Egerton has hired him to trail boss a wagon train of twenty-eight brides over six hundred miles of rough, tough range. With the story-telling ease of Louis L'Amour, Kent Conwell's tale of Howie and his adventures on the trail - rattlesnakes, wild fires, swollen rivers, marauding Kiowas, and ruthless Commancheros - sweeps the reader along at a breathless pace. Full of intelligent characters and believeable plot twists, this is a page-turner that you won't want to put down till the last (very satisfying) paragraph.
