"A Ralph Compton Novel"--Cover.

"Big Jake Motley had owned the Big M spread in Texas for over 25 years. In that time, he had driven thousands of head of cattle to market in Kansas. Now, while both the nineteenth century and the era of the trail drive were coming to an end, Big Jake is determined to make one last drive to Kansas City. The only thing is, he doesn't have the cowhands to move that much beef. He drafts his old friend, Chance McCandless, into service, and the two aging cowboys put together a crew. The trail to Kansas is fraught with dangers, and when Chance is killed by rustlers, Big Jake has one more task before him--extract vengeance for his old friend."--Back Cover
