ABOUT THE BOOK:
Inspired by the real-life adventures of legendary cattleman Tom Candy Ponting, Longhorns East takes readers on an unforgettable journey as big and bold as the American Dream itself. The story is based on the longest cattle drive in American history when, in the mid-1840s, Tom Candy Ponting became the first ever cattleman to make the journey from Texas to New York City, bringing the Texas Longhorn to the Northeast for the first time and changing the cattle industry forever.
