Here is L'Amour's great epic of human courage and endurance, his brave saga of the men and women who pushed relentlessly forward--despite nature, savage enemies, dangers and death--to win the wide, shining lands of the rich and untamed West.

A western adventure spanning three generations, the breadth of a wild, unsettled country, and fifty of the most excitingly turbulent years of this nation's history.

Three-hundred starving Cheyenne men, women and children, forcibly resettled in the barren wastelands of Oklahoma, set out on a desperate 1500-mile trek back to their Yellowstone homeland. A true-life story.
