A Double Spur Award-Winning Author
When Comanches killed their fathers, Sutter "Sut" Lowery and August "Gus" Bell became the primary supporters of their families until their mothers married again. One night, Gus' mother is beaten again by her husband. Gus kills Ben and dumps the body in a sinkhole. That night, Sut and Gus hit out for tall cane. And thus begins the odyssey of Sut and Gus into the world of cattle drives, rustlers, Indians, horses, and manhood. At the crossing of the Arkansas, they work to eliminate a gang of thugs. In Abilene they end up wanted by half the town and a bunch of vaqueros. Sut and Gus' exploits take them far and wide in this coming-of-age saga set in the American west.
