As orphans Dell and Joel Wells faced starvation on the northeastern Kansas prairie during a hellish winter, their late father's dream was dying with them.

But just as they get set to leave his claim on Beaver Creek because it is barren land, an unexpected twist gives them a second chance.

Revitalised, the brothers develop their own ranch without any capital but with plenty of hard graft.

Bigger challenges follow, though. Will they survive bitter winters, summer droughts, hungry wolf packs, and Texas fever?

This uplifting and authentic Western is perfect for fans of Max Brand and Zane Grey.

Andy Adams (1859-1935) was an American writer of westerns, who grew up on his family’s farm in Indiana. He worked as a cowboy and cattle driver, which later prompted him to start writing his cowboy stories.

He started writing novels in his forties, and his work is characterised by its realistic descriptions of everyday life and the troubles ranchers and cowboys experienced. His best-known works include 'The Log of a Cowboy', 'Reed Anthony, Cowman', and 'Wells Brothers'.
