Oklahoma to Montana

The 5 civilized tribes of Oklahoma territory were used to leasing their grass to ranchers, but the politicians outlawed this when they moved the Cheyenne and Arapahoe and other tribes in to save running reservations in other areas. The only choices the ranchers had were to sell out or drive toward Montana which is what this story is about, Frank Kinnaird who had been looking for an outlaw to help clear his name in a frame up was just the experienced trail driver to help Jesse Buckmaster and his lovely looney daughter Jaimie drive their herds the long thousand miles, but Worth Arnett an ardent suitor of Jaimie is jealous of Frank and will do anything to stop their drive and regain Jaimie's affections. My only complaint is that Mr. Lomax portrays Jaimie as an immature overly jealous unreasonable female(much as my ex-wife:-)and if indeed at the end of the story Frank and Jamie do get together then I guarantee you that this marriage won't last very long at all, I have to assume that Bliss Lomax must have had a wife like this to be able to write about it so well. Lauran Paine is about the only author I've read that continues a story past the usual ending. '
