Reviews
On Apr 9 2020, a reader said:
Trey McLean leaves home according to family tradition which says only the oldest son could remain at home. So, he leaves the East Texas cotton farm to become a trail driver of cattle to Kansas. He has much to learn and must learn if he expects to survive this new life he has chosen or has been thrust upon him. Hense a pumpkin roller, a green horn, a farm boy, thought to be more trouble than they are worth having around. And as with any Elmer Kelton book there are characters who are characters we have met somewhere in our own lives. I heartily endorse this book.
