The Cattle Barons

The Cattle Barons is the story of an Arkansas farm boy whose father was killed by bushwhackers. At his young age, he finds the murderers and kills them.

After avenging his father’s death, he gets his childhood friend, Shad to accompany him as he sets out West to escape the bushwhackers’ revenge and make his fortune.

Klu and Shad end up in Indian Territory, find a half-breed Choctaw named Mark Two Feathers hanging upside down in a tree and rescue him. The half-breed and the other two young men form a friendship. They gather feral cows and sell them to the two armies fighting the Civil War.

They come across two men who are going to stake out an Indian boy. Klu, Shad, Mark, and the Indian boy, Small Fox, go from one problem to another as they build a ranching operation and combat the cattle barons who think they own the Indian Territory.
