About this audiobook
when rustlers stampede the herd and injure them, he’ll do anything to protect his own.
Over the past twenty years, William “Bull” Kelly acquired a reputation as one of the best ramrods in Texas. He has
led legendary cattle drives to almost every railhead in the middle of the country. Most impressive of all, he once drove
his herd all the way up to Montana. But after years of working for other people, he decided to run cattle on his own,
with his five sons.
Everything starts off fine, but when a group of cattle thieves try to stampede the herd, some of Kelly’s sons are hurt
in the melee. The rustlers quickly find out that Kelly isn’t called “Bull” because he insists on riding at the head of the
herd. He’s called “Bull” because of his skill with the harsh whip coiled on his belt
