While the trail is named after Jesse Chisholm, in this novel it is his son, Ten, who collects the first herd of Texas Longhorns, puts together a trail crew, and follows the route planned by his father from Texas to Abilene, Kansas. The novel is full of conflict with outlaws (many ex Union and Confederate soldiers), natives and one another of the characters. Even romance and love make it into the story. One amusing incident has two women disguised as men for their safety are caught taking a bath in a stream by two of the main male characters. Love makes everyone happy. A fun read if you like Louis L'Amour westerns with their combination of history and action and adventure. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Armed with only a Colt rifle, a Bowie knife, and courage as big as the West, Ten Chisholm--the bold, illegitimate son of frontier scout and plains ambassador Jesse Chisholm and a Cherokee woman--arrives in the heart of Comanche country with a price on his head. His only crime: loving the beautiful daughter of a powerful New Orleans gambler who has promised her to a wealthy man she hates. Now that Ten has returned to the harsh Texas brakes with a team of battle-toughened cowboys and ex-soldiers--and a vow to return to Priscilla and make her his wife--he must round up wild longhorns, ward off angry Comanches, and survive treacherous outlaw attacks as he crosses the Red River and sets off on a brazen quest to open a new trail to Kansas on the savage frontier.
