The Sheepman

A Classic Western Adventure

By: Frank Wheeler

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Cade McAlister thought he’d left the war behind.
After serving as a Union sharpshooter, he traded his rifle for a sheep ranch on eastern Oregon’s volcanic plateau.
For ten years he kept to himself, raising his daughter Emmie and asking nothing from the world but to be left alone.

Until Harlan Stead decided the plateau belonged to the cattle.

When McAlister refuses to give up his land, Stead sends men to make the decision for him.
They scatter the flock.
They burn the range.
And they kill Cade’s daughter.

Stead expected a sheepman.
What he got was one of the deadliest riflemen the Union ever produced, and a Sharps that’s been lying dormant.

Now Stead’s riders are dying in the lava fields, drawn into broken rock and black corridors where Cade knows every trail and ambush.
But Stead controls Juniper Station, and he begins cutting away anyone who helps the sheepman, including Nessa Crowell, the widowed trader whose supply post doubles as the plateau’s information network.

Cade came west to build a life.
Now he’s turning the plateau into a battlefield.
How many men does it take to even a debt that can’t be paid?
