Reviews

[Gena Lott · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fast-paced and action packed, this is a great western about the changes in a city slicker as he becomes a cowboy.

[Barry · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent Americana. Part coming of age, part fish out of water. About the growth of a man taking a herd of cattle from Mexico to Kansas.
