From nine-time Spur Award-winning Western author Johnny D.
Inspired by the real-life adventures of legendary cattleman Tom Candy Ponting, Longhorns East takes readers on an unforgettable journey as big and bold as the American Dream itself. . . .
They will make history.
But if they succeed, the team will make more than just a whole lot of money.
Along the way, they\'ll cross railroads and rustlers, hucksters and hustlers, with detours and dead ends aplenty.
Not one to back down on a dare, Ponting assembles the motliest crew of cowboys ever seen--Texans, Englishmen, Mexicans, Freemen, Cherokee--and charts a course through the unfriendliest country to move seven hundred head of cattle, never easy in the best of times.
But his skills and know-how were really put to the test when he accepts a bet he might live to regret: lead a cattle drive from Texas to New York City.
Unlike his competitors, he learned how to herd cows on a farm back in England--and how to handle cowboys in bareknuckle prizefights.
He didn\'t smoke, chew, cuss, or even carry a gun.
Tom Candy Ponting was no ordinary trail boss. . .
Boggs comes the incredible story of the biggest, longest, wildest cattle drive in America\'s history--from the heart of Texas to New York City.
