Book excerpt: Chancy Flint: Cowboy is the second in a series of five novels following the life of a young man from age twelve into his thirties. Chancy becomes a cowboy who is good with horses, cattle, and guns. Honest, courageous, hard-working and loyal, Chancy is a man to ride the river with. Right after the Civil War Chancy and his partners ride into South Texas and round up and brand over 3,000 unbranded mavericks and 365 horses. They then drive the herd up the Shawnee Trail to the railhead at Sedalia, Missouri. Along the way, they must deal with violent weather, floods, stampedes, hostile Indians, and rustlers. Chancy faces life's challenges with courage and resourcefulness. Over the five novels we watch him grow up straight and strong, tempered by adversity, not defeated by it.
