Wells Brothers

In the Old West, family fortunes were often made -- and sometimes lost -- with amazing rapidity. In Andy Adams' novel Wells Brothers: The Young Cattle Kings, a pair of orphaned brothers put their scrappy determination to work and establish a thriving ranch in an extremely inhospitable environment with tall odds stacked against them. Praised for its realism, Wells Brothers is a must-read for those interested in well-researched fiction about the West.
