"A can't-put-it-down modern Western." —Kirk Siegler, NPR Longlisted for the PEN/ESPN Award for Literary Sports Writing The Last Cowboys is Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter John Branch’s epic tale of one American family struggling to hold on to the fading vestiges of the Old West. For generations, the Wrights of southern Utah have raised cattle and world-champion saddle-bronc riders—many call them the most successful rodeo family in history. Now they find themselves fighting to save their land and livelihood as the West is transformed by urbanization, battered by drought, and rearranged by public-land disputes. Could rodeo, of all things, be the answer? Written with great lyricism and filled with vivid scenes of heartache and broken bones, The Last Cowboys is a powerful testament to the grit and integrity that fuel the American Dream.

But between keeping the cattle on the trail, moving against the fierce heat, and taking care of a mischievous young calf, no one notices Tyler's new boots.

Though at first Tyler's disappointed that his boots are a mess, he soon learns that it's not what you wear, but how you handle yourself, that makes the best impression. This charged western adventure is perfect for cowboys, or cowgirls, of all ages.
