3) The Outlet
The Civil War changed the contours of the United States in countless ways—including the business landscape. In the aftermath of the conflict, Texas cattle companies began trading their livestock with buyers in the Pacific Northwest. The Outlet is a gripping account of the first grueling cattle drives to the region—and the indefatigable ranchers and laborers who brought this long-deferred dream to fruition.
The history of the Western United States is full of self-made men who came from meager circumstances and metamorphosed into rich and powerful tycoons. The engaging and gritty novel Reed Anthony, Cowman is a fictionalized but exceedingly realistic account of one such figure who rose through the ranching ranks to became a formidable businessman.
Gear up to ride the dusty trails of the Wild West with Cattle Brands, a collection of thrilling and informative tales from renowned author Andy Adams. With years of experience on cattle drives in Texas and surrounding states, Adams was praised by many cowboys as the most realistic of all the popular writers of Westerns, particularly those having to do with range life. The stories in this collection certainly bear out that praise.
