About this listen

The Cattlemen is a Western novel based on the relationship between Bill Brubaker and Bud Baxter, childhood friends who share the dream of becoming cattlemen. The friends grew up on adjoining farms in the Huzzah Valley in central Missouri, left home together, fought in the Civil War in the same unit, and went to Texas together to pursue their dream of becoming Cattlemen. They rounded up feral cattle in Texas and Oklahoma Territory; fought the Ku Klux Klan during Reconstruction in Texas; built a ranch in Hopkins County, Texas; married, had children, and then sold out their Texas ranching operation.

They drove two herds of cattle to Kansas, sold their longhorn stock, and continued their quest for their dream by taking their new breeding stock to Montana and building a ranch there. Their trail drives were filled with threats of Indians, rustlers, storms, swollen rivers, and the backbreaking work of a trail drive. If you like a glimpse of the life of cattlemen in the old West, you will find this audiobook intriguing.
