Wolf Runner
“By now, Wolf Runner had expected to be back home—but something kept him from making the final decision on whether to sell the ranch. He would lean one way, then reconsider and think in the opposite direction.
He knew all the reasons he should let it go; his family was not connected to the place and probably never would be. But his mother had made it his responsibility, and he had to consider what selling it would mean for all the people who rode for the brand.
Leaning against his horse, he gazed at the lazy, fat cattle grazing on the sweet grass while Satanta was off in the bushes somewhere, probably chasing a luckless jackrabbit. At first the cattle had been nervous around Satanta, but they soon settled down when they saw he was not interested in them and now they hardly noticed the wolf.
Cullen had told him they were ready to ship to market, and he was assured that the herd would bring a good price this year. In three weeks they would begin the cattle drive to the railhead in Santa ...Fe, and from there the cattle would be shipped to Kansas City; then the cycle would begin all over again.MoreLess
