Publisher's Synopsis
In The Making of a Rancher, Jack F. Kirkeby takes us back to Scotland where a young boy courageously leaves home in the first decade of the 20th Century and sets out to find his Uncle in Wyoming. In the process, the boy becomes man, a father and a successful Wyoming rancher. Key historical facts blend with rich characters in this sweeping drama that is the prequel to Death on Portal Mesa, the author's first novel. Both books are available in print and as e-books at Amazon.com and most major online retailers.
