A brand new Western from the legendary Jim Byrnes who wrote many episodes of the long-running western show “Gunsmoke,” and the acclaimed Western TV series “The Sacketts.”
The year is 1873, the cattle business was alive and thriving. The cattle towns such as Abilene, Dodge City and Wichita were booming all due to the special breed of men who drove massive herds of cattle hundreds of miles across the Great Plains.
The American cowboy; many working as trail bosses, ramrods and drovers, pushed herds of cattle through blistering heat, rain storms and across swollen rivers. They were often confronted by hostile Indians, rustlers and border gangs to reach their ultimate destinations.
This story is about three of these men, trail boss, Will Shannon, ramrod, Tom Blue and young newcomer, Doak Riley. It’s also about the coming of the railroad and the end of an era for that special breed of man known as the cowboy. Most called it progress, some called it a tragedy.
Whatever you call it, the cowboy’s way of life changed.
