Sterl and his loyal friend, Red Krehl, set out for the greatest adventure of their lives, signing on for a cattle drive across the vast northern desert of Australia to the gold fields of the Kimberley Mountains. But it seems no matter where Sterl goes, trouble is bound to follow!One of the finest novels of Zane Grey's career, The Great Trek has never been available in paperback as Grey wrote it—until now.
