The longest, toughest cattle-drive in History. I have 2000 head of cattle to get to Frisco, Jeff Kennet said quietly to Capt. Bill Ballinger. The river pilot whistled. You mean you brought that herd all the way from Texas to Sacramento? 
We climbed mountains, swam rivers crossed deserts, Jeff told him. We fought Indians and Renegades. We've been two years coming and we're not going to be licked next to the end of the trail. Before the last of the herd reaches the Golden Gate, savage gunplay brings a smashing climax to this unusual, fast moving Western.
