This is the third and final book in the 'Long Dusty Trail' series. It brings to an end the struggle of one families determination to build a cattle empire in the foot hills of the southern Rocky Mountains. Rustlers, thieves, bandits, and Indans have plagued the "Flying C Ranch" both on the long dusty trail from Kansas City with the first herd of Herefords, to the sensless killing of Bob Glasgow on his front porch. "Slim Randles" western author and currently a syndicated columnist of "Home Country"says; "Mel Adkins writing is right up there with Louis L' Amour's and this is an amazing saga of a fascinating ranch family set in the majesty of the West in the 1880's A real page turner."
