The Santa Fe Trail

By Ralph Compton

Subjects:

Description: He was a wealthy Englishman with two beautiful daughters. They were five dusty Texans and one gambling man. And they were all on the ride of their lives... THE SANTA FE TRAIL Gavin McCord and his brawling cowboys came to Missouri with a problem: 3,500 longhorns and not one buyer. That's where Gladstone Pitkin comes in. A man with money to burn and a fiery dram of the ranching life in New Mexico, Pitkin buys McCord's cattle and hires his men for a trail drive from Independence to Santa Fe. But standing in this unlikely band's way are a thousand brutal miles of parched desert... countless outlaws... enemies old and new... and one man's dangerous past that might just prove deadly in the end.
