The Cattlemen

By Bill Shuey

Bill Brubaker and Bud Baxter are born one hour apart on adjacent farms in the Huzzah Valley of Central Missouri. The childhood friends dreamed of going west and becoming cattlemen.

Circumstances causes one of the boys to have to leave Missouri for his health. He is joined by his friend.

They round up feral cattle, fight in the Civil War, and then build a ranching operation in Hopkins County, Texas. They both marry and have children. They drive two herds of cattle to Kansas. Their trail drives were filled with threat of Indians, rustlers, storms, swollen rivers, and the back breaking work of a trail drive.

The friends start a breeding operation for short-horn cattle and move their entire operation to Montana.
If you like a glimpse of the life of cattlemen, the bonds of friendship, and family life in the old west, you will find this book intriguing.
