Billy O'Reilly is a novel about a young boy who lost his family, lost his youth, and I grew up fast in the eighteenth century working on a cattle ranch, and onto a trail drive to Montana. As an early teenager, he went on a cattle drive into Canada, and back, all of the time hounded by hired killers trying to take his life by relations trying to get hold of money and property left to him by his grandfather. A truly wild western is depicting the type of life in the West when the West was young of life in the West when the West was young.
