Where the Long Trail Ends

By Rod Miller

SPUR AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR ROD MILLER

Storms, stampedes, river crossings, and rustlers ride through the pages of Where the Long Trail Ends-along with the poetry of Robert Burns. Joaquin Ignacio MacDonald is a Texas cowboy descended from a white plantation owner, black slaves, and a Mexican mother. The only thing he owns from his distant white ancestor is his surname and a stolen book of poetry passed down through the generations. The poetry leads to friendship with Elspeth, which costs him his job at a ranch owned by a Scottish syndicate and managed by her father, Duncan Cameron. Crippled in a horse wreck at his new job, Joaquin turns to cooking, and runs the chuckwagon on a cattle drive up the Chisholm Trail, leading to renewed conflict with Cameron. Thrown together by a bullet wound, the two men tussle over a troublesome past and uncertain future.
