Summary | The story of the younger years of cowboy Hewey Calloway, as he and his brother, Walter, leave the family farm in 1889 to find work in West Texas cow country. While Walter wants to settle down, Hewey enjoys having fun, and convinces Walter to join him on a cattle drive that ends up being both memorable and dangerous. The events in this book precede those of the novels The good old boys and The smiling country. |
