Gunsight Pass: How Oil Came to the Cattle Country and Brought a New West

"Gunsight Pass: How Oil Came to the Cattle Country and Brought a New West" by William MacLeod Raine is a story about change in the American West at the beginning of the 1900s. The story follows David Sanders, a young cowboy who finds himself in a complicated feud. The clash between the old ways of cattle ranching and the new oil business sets the scene for an exciting story. Starting with a simple horse race, it quickly turns into a fight over land and water rights. You’ll meet lively cowboys around a campfire, but watch out because trouble is coming when a bet turns sour, and David stands up for himself against cheaters. This shows the tough ranch life and hints at bigger ideas about doing what's right and keeping traditions alive when new industries arrive.
