| Publisher Description: From the text: "An hour before daybreak one Christmas morning in the Cherokee Strip, six hundred horses were under saddle awaiting the dawn. It- was a clear, frosty morning that bespoke an equally clear day for the wolf "rodeo." Every cow-camp within striking distance of the Walnut Grove, on the Salt Fork of the Cimarron, was a scene of activity, taxing to the utmost its hospitality to man and horse. There had been a hearty response to the invitation to attend the circle drive-hunt of this well-known shelter of several bands of gray wolves. The cowmen had suffered so severely in time past from this enemy of cattle that the Cherokee Strip Cattle Association had that year offered a bounty of twenty dollars for wolf scalps." Andy Adams has been permanently established in history as the greatest chronicler of the cattle industry in the west and a story teller of the old Trail days. |
