Book Overview
Rich
in adventure, history, and humor, an odyssey set in the
twilight of the Wild West spun by Will Hobbs
Weeks
after arriving in Colorado to start a new farm, the Hollowell family is looking
at disaster when fifteen-year-old Owen witnesses the theft of their mules. Learning
that Hercules and Peaches will likely be sold to the mines, Owen sets out to
track the rustler over the mountains. It's all Ma can do to hold back little
brother Till, who's more than a handful.
The outlaw's trail leads to Telluride,
the turbulent "City of Gold." Owen gets help from a resourceful girl named
Molly and dubious assistance from Till, who shows up on the train from Durango.
Telluride's
notorious marshal finally takes an interest when he identifies the rustler as
one of Butch Cassidy's Wild Bunch. The lawman leads Owen and Till on horseback
into the canyon country and all the way to Robbers Roost.
For readers who love
adventure and humor, Will Hobbs delivers a stirring tale of two brothers who
risk it all to recover their mules and secure their future.
