Gustafsson and his neighbors have always expected cowboys to be a manly men who love to perform the hard, physical labor of herding, feeding, watering, doctoring, branding, calving, and castrating cattle. They have also expected them to love only women.

Ranch Legacy is the debut novel by Earle Kirkbride, who turned 95 years old around the time of its release.
