β¦ Synopsis
Rich in adventure, history, and humor, an odyssey set in the twilight of the Wild West spun by Will Hobbs
Weeks after arriving in Colorado to start a new farm, the Hollowell family is looking at disaster when fifteen-year-old Owen witnesses the theft of their mules. Learning that Hercules and Peaches will likely be sold to the mines, Owen sets out to track the rustler over the mountains. Itβs all Ma can do to hold back little brother Till, whoβs more than a handful.
The outlawβs trail leads to Telluride, the turbulent βCity of Gold.β Owen gets help from a resourceful girl named Molly and dubious assistance from Till, who shows up on the train from Durango.
Tellurideβs notorious marshal finally takes an interest when he identifies the rustler as one of Butch Cassidyβs Wild Bunch. The lawman leads Owen and Till on horseback into the canyon country and all the way to Robbers Roost.
For readers who love adventure and humor, Will Hobbs delivers a stirring tale of two brothers who risk it all to recover their mules and secure their future.
