The Story of Ty Durant: Getting Even Dee Penley

This is a story set in the prairie states during the time of the great trail drives, before barbed wire fenced off the great, vast prairies and caused the end of an era. Cowboys rode together, ate together, lived together--sometimes for months or years. Real friendships were made and this is the story of such a friendship. It is also the story of the loss of a great friend, and how one cowboy handles that loss. Rather than Ty Durant taking the killing of his friend, Derrick, lying down, Ty decides to hunt down the outlaws who killed Derrick. He buries his friend, vowing at the gravesite that he will hunt down the three outlaws. He vows to get even for the loss of his pard.
