"Cattle Drive," by Western author Big Jim Williams, is a fictional tale of an 1873 cattle drive across North Texas during a hot summer, a cattleman's desperate attempt to push 3,000 longhorns to a market to avoid financial ruin. The tale includes a cattle stampede, gun battles, gamblers, double crosses, greed, broken promises, soiled doves, 11 dead bodies, and Western action Big Jim hopes readers will enjoy. When a water baron refuses to sell water to save the cattleman's dying herd, that leads to gunplay spearheaded by Buck Longworth, the cattle drive's reluctant trail boss, and his sidekick, Rafferty O'Rourke. The "Cattle Drive" book also comes with a twist ending. "Cattle Drive," Big Jim says, is a book he started writing nights and weekends years ago while working fulltime as a publicist grinding out press releases that often boarded on fiction. Big Jim loves writing Western fiction, says it's great to let ones imagination ride through the Old West in search of cowboys, outlaws, legends, pioneers, ladies of the night and bonnet-clad women, and, "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly," if he may steal a movie title from Clint Eastwood. "Cattle Drive" is Big Jim Williams' first novel. However, his many Western stories have appeared in magazines, Websites, and anthologies. His collected short stories are in two audio books, "Tall Tales of The Old West," which Big Jim narrated, and, "The Old West."

This book is about the life of cowboys on cattle drives and other experiences they endured. It is about hard times and good times and making lifelong friends including Black, White, Mexican, American Indian, and a woman trail boss. It is about facing hostile Indian attacks and rustlers and the battles that ensued, and about sheer bravery and fear when facing down another man in a gunfight. It is also about a quiet, shy young cowboy falling in love and marrying the girl of his dreams and working on a ranch. It includes flashbacks interrupting the chronological order of the main narrative to take the reader back in time to the past events in a character's life. It explores notable historical figures and time periods in these settings. Considering the cowboy code #4 "Do what has to be done," most of the men and women in this novel served their country in times of conflict and distress. It discusses the family's lineage, patriotism and war service including the Mexican War, Civil War, Indian wars of 1876, Spanish American War, WW1, WW2, the Korean Conflict, and Vietnam.
