Roy Bell loved the family ranch in Alberta better than anything, but his father was ill and the time came when it seemed the ranch must be broken up, the stock sold, and the Bells go to the city. To save the ranch was challenge for any man and Roy, still only a boy, suddenly and grimly became a man. In a swift-paced story, Mr. Holt tells of Roy's heartbreaking efforts to save the ranch-with the help of a kindly neighbor-the cattle entrusted to him for winter care, the tons of hay grown and stacked, the ravages of a great bear, the sudden late Spring blizzard and the tragic stampede when the cattle are lost over the cliffs, but throughout the story runs the happy thread of the boy's relation to a wild golden horse, the Whistler.
