 Local DescriptionA paperback copy in very good condition. DescriptionThe drought had reached crisis point. Cattle farmer Mike Keenan decided there was only one solution: he would have to get his starving cattle—and his beloved horses—to greener pastures north of the border. But when he finally got there he found his troubles had only just begun. South-west Queensland seemed like a modern-day Wild West, and as Keenan moved his cattle along the traditional droving routes in search of long-term pasture, he had to match wits with a host of characters—as well as Nature herself. The Horses Too Are Gone is the true story of Keenan's struggle to survive against mounting odds, and it's an action-packed adventure that rivals any fiction. A fresh voice from the Bush, Mike Keenan writes with a deep passion and knowledge of Australian life on the land, tinged with a sadness and nostalgia for a way of life that is under threat. |
