内容简介：
A writer stranded on the prairie listens to a tale told by a young wrangler about facing the family of a bully he had confronted on the street of a small western town. The writer becomes convinced he can make a fortune by relating the adventures of the young wrangler and his partners. Gus Boggs, the storyteller, is a man born to lead. He is talented in the use of fire arms and has an uncanny way of taming wild horses. As you turn the pages of this book, you will find yourself in the company of a group of men and women as their lives unfold in the dangerous environment of the Canadian prairies during the mid-nineteenth century. The money that the writer earns is put to use in a very imaginative way by the women in the group. An empire is built.
