In this gripping Western tale, cowboys stand up for their rights against wealthy cattle owners in a fierce range war.
The Day the Cowboys Quit, set in the Texas Panhandle in 1883, tells the story of a different kind of range war between cowboys and ranchers. The cowboys, refusing to be stigmatized as drinkers and exploited by cattle owners who don't pay liveable wages, face a new threat. The ranchers want to take away the cowboys' right to own cattle, believing it would lead to thieving.
When rumors of this dictum spread - if you're a cowboy, you can't own a cow - the cowboys decide to rally and fight for their rights. They gather together and strike against the ranchers' oppressive rule.
From seven-time Spur Award-winning author Elmer Kelton comes a Western novel of a fierce battle where cowboys stand their ground, fighting for respect and fair treatment in the unforgiving wilderness of the Wild West.
