Book Description:
The year was 1853. For handful of cowboys turned California Gold Rushers, it was time to go home. Then Lonnie Kilgore and his fellow Texans met Western legend and former mountain man Jim Bridger, who told them of a lush range waiting to be claimed in northern Utah. Now, the Texans have purchased land on the Green river and come to San Antonio to gather up some longhorns. But with Indian trouble, law trouble, and woman trouble along for the ride, the cowboys are finding out the truth about this paradise: to live on land you bought and paid for, you have to be willing to die...

Melanie H. (This one is excellent. I felt like the people in the book were my friends. I hope we see more of these people. The book ended to soon. Ralph Compton is one of the best of the western writers. He makes it seem like you have just dropped in for a visit with these folks. The sound effects are excellent and make you feel like you are there. The story covers 4 cowboys that have come out of the gold fields of California to establish a large ranch on the Green River. They are orginally from Texas and they go home to get to buy a herd to take back to the Green River. What happens to them on their ride to the Green River. There are some interesting plots of the Mormons, and why they try and take over the land. All in all this story calls to be continued.
