Longhorns East
เจเจธ เจเจกเฉเจ-เจเจฟเจคเจพเจฌ เจฌเจพเจฐเฉ
From nine-time Spur Awardโwinning Western author Johnny D. Boggs comes the incredible story of the biggest, longest, wildest cattle drive in Americaโs historyโfrom the heart of Texas to New York City.
Tom Candy Ponting was no ordinary trail boss. He didnโt smoke, chew, cuss, or even carry a gun. Unlike his competitors, he learned how to herd cows on a farm back in Englandโand how to handle cowboys in bareknuckle prizefights. But his skills and know-how were really put to the test when he accepts a bet he might live to regret: lead a cattle drive from Texas to New York City.
Not one to back down on a dare, Ponting assembles the motliest crew of cowboys ever seenโTexans, Englishmen, Mexicans, Freemen, Cherokeeโand charts a course through the unfriendliest country to move seven hundred head of cattle, never easy in the best of times.
Along the way, theyโll cross railroads and rustlers, hucksters and hustlers, with detours and dead ends aplenty. But if they succeed, the team will make more than just a whole lot of money. They will make history.
Inspired by the real-life adventures of legendary cattleman Tom Candy Ponting, Longhorns East takes listeners on an unforgettable journey as big and bold as America itself.
