Two orphans face starvation on the prairie of northeastern Kansas
during the terrible winter of 1885-86. Dell and Joel Wells,
redheads who have barely reached shaving age, are about to abandon
their dead father's claim on Beaver Creek because it won't grow
crops. Then unexpected events, and a drover seeking aid, allow them
a decent chance in life.
First published in 1911, "Wells" "Brothers, The Young Cattle
Kings" shows what happens when experienced enterprise meets
youthful energy. The boys develop their own ranch on the Beaver,
without capital but with honor. No amount of savvy can entirely
prepare them for the risks: cruel winters, rapacious wolf packs,
summer droughts, mysterious Texas fever, the shifting circumstances
of the cattle trade. Andy Adams (1859-1935), author of the classic
"Log of a Cowboy" (also available as a Bison Book), wraps the saga
of the Wells brothers in authentic western atmosphere and lore.
