The Goodnight Trail by Ralph Compton

A little peek into the history of the west about 1865-6. Benton McCaleb and a couple of his Texas Ranger friends decide to try rounding up and driving unbranded longhorns north to make some money. Encountering Charles Goodnight they join up and face murderous Indians, crooked whites and a bunch of good people, too. I liked the approach to historical fiction, gives some good facts, peppered with excitement of life as it must have been then. I would recommend. Sandy Penton
