Young Vince is herding cattle for the very first time. His trail boss is Cowboy Pete. Pete has been on many a trail ride.He and his men are herding cattle from the 'Rocking A' Ranch to the town of Los Dos Rio, but miles of trail and Dead Man's Gulch lie between the cowboys and a cold sarsaparilla in town. Vince will come face-to-face with thunderstorms, prairie fires, stampedes, floods, rattle snakes and much more. Will Cowboy Pete's common sense and cowboy logic be enough to save them? This special edition adds an extra story, for a total of eight for the young (or young at heart) reader.
