The Santa Fe man who'd contracted five thousand head of cattle was dead- murdered by renegades. For the ranchers riding with Rand Hayes, things had gone from bad to worse. Now, Ralph, Compton brings this violent and magnificent time to life in an extraordinary epic series based on the history-blazing trail drives. The only riches Texans had left after the Civil War were five million maverick longhorns and the brains, brawn, and boldness to drive them north to where the money was. Now, they had one choice: cross desert mountains and hostile Indian land- to a place called California. And the only way to do it is the Texan way-figting for every bloody, dusty mile ahead. But faced with outlaws, soldiers and the cunning plans of a beautiful woman, the Austins are finding out that this isn't a trail drive, it's a war to reach the Bandera Range alive. All they have to do now is break Duval out of prison and drive the cattle to safety. Taken prisoner by Santa Anna's soldiers, the brothers make a daring escape and head into Durango country, where they stumble on a valley full of longhorns-and a chance to build a future north of the border.
Set on rescuing their old friend Clay Duval who is trapped inside war-torn Mexico, Gill and Van Austin, nephews of Texas founder Stephen Austin, cross the border after him and soon discover half of Mexico's army wants them dead.
