Description

He drew a gun the way he livedlightning fast and no questions asked. From out of nowhere, he rode into Jess Buckmasters ranch yard in Canadian Crossing, Oklahoma. He was a tall man with firmly molded features and a quiet dignity that rested easily on his lean, broad shouldersbut there was also a reserved, unbending aloofness about him that was forbidding at times, like a man with secrets. He called himself Kinnard. No one in town knew him . . . and the way he wore his gun said most people would be smart to leave it that way.

However, the local stockmen had bigger problems than the mysterious stranger. Congress had terminated all of their leases in the Indian territory, so they had to pack up everything and move out, including hundreds of heads of cattle. In desperation, Buckmaster partnered up with Kinnard to drive a trail herd to Montana. And his daughter, Jamie, who had caught the eye of Kinnard, insisted on going along.

Their trail was plagued by one challenge after another: stampedes, drought, dying cattle, and, most of all, treachery from a competing outfit. Would they make it to Montana and finally discover the secrets of the stranger with a gun
