Wells Brothers: The Young Cattle Kings

Wells Brothers by Andy Adams is the western frontier story following young cowboys Joel and Dell Wells. Excerpt: «These were all big beeves today, going to some fort on the Yellowstone River. And they had such wide, sweeping horns! And the smartest cattle! An hour before noon one of the point men gave a shrill whistle, and the whole column of beeves turned aside and began feeding. The men called it 'throwing the herd off the trail to graze.' It was just like saying halt! to soldiers–as we saw at that reunion in Ohio.»
