California Trail Paperback - 1994
by Ralph Compton
The fifth book in the exciting Trail Drivers series--a sweeping, historically accurate epic set against the backdrop of the great cattle drives of the Old West. Gil and Van Austin have been raising longhorn in Texas with only one problem--no buyers. But when gold is discovered in California, they prepare for a perilous drive.
From the rear cover
From bestselling author Ralph Compton comes the bold and breathtaking saga of a trail-blazing cattle drive in the blistering heat of the California gold rush... 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 where the money was. But it all took a wild and dangerous turn in 1849, as the trail was overrun with dreamers, schemers, and gold... THE CALIFORNIA TRAIL Gold fever has hit California, and suddenly the land is full of hungry pioneers. For Texas brothers Gil and Van Austin, it means a chance to sell their well-grazed longhorns after years of hard ranching and a death-defying cattle drive up through Mexico. The only thing that stands between them and California is a scorching desert, swollen rivers, a barrage of Indian attacks, and a passel of outlaws. And while the Texans are ready and willing to take it all on, there's one thing they're not prepared for: the ultimate act of treachery, greed, and back-stabbing deceit... Very seldom in literature have the legends of the Old West been so vividly painted. --Tombstone Epitaph
