The Ranch on the Beaver

by Andy Adams

The Ranch on the Beaver (1927) is the sequel to Wells Brothers: The Young Cattle Kings (1911). The novel continues the story of Joel and Dell Wells as they build their cattle ranching operation along Beaver Creek in northwest Kansas during the late 1880s, navigating the challenges of free-range ranching, harsh winters, and the encroaching civilization that would soon transform the open frontier.
