Produktbeschreibung

A band of cowboys turned California Gold Rushers set their sights on paradise, but trouble rides along on the trail to their new home.

The year was 1853. For Lonnie Kilgore and his fellow Texans, it was time to go home. Then they met Western legend and former mountain man Jim Bridger, who told them of a lush range waiting to be claimed in northern Utah. 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. In Ralph Compton's gritty Western novel, the perils of the wild frontier threaten to destroy the cowboys' dreams of a fresh start in the Old West.
