John Allen wants to be a wrangler more than anything else in the world. He has toiled in Kansas coal mines and worked as a gunsmith’s apprentice, but nothing draws him like the notion of being called cowboy. His yearnings take him to the drought-stricken Wyoming grasslands where he is caught up in the burgeoning war between ranchers and a daring band of rustlers. On John’s new path in life, he gets more than he bargained for, however. Being a cowboy is often dangerous work, but there’s nothing that can scare John away from his life’s ambition. John finds more than fulfillment working as a cowboy. He discovers a new life and love.
