About this ebook
The Ridgeway family faces their greatest challenge when a devastating drought threatens to spark an open range war, forcing them to fight for their ranch, their dream—and their lives . . .
DEATH BY THE DEVIL’S ROPE
It’s the summer of 1883. A severe drought threatens to bankrupt the Ridgeway’s Rocking R Ranch and every rancher in northwest Texas. The cattle are thirsty and hungry. The ranchers are getting desperate. And a simple new invention called barbed wire—the devil’s rope—is their only defense against illegal herders grazing on their land. Percy Ridgeway and his brother Eli are working overtime to stake a fence around their sixty thousand acres. But someone keeps cutting the wires. The Ridgeways keep fixing them. And soon Perry is tangled in a high-stakes showdown with a thieving cattleman named Northcutt and his cutthroat henchmen. Let the battle begin . . .
History would call it the Fence Wars of 1883. The Ridgeways would call it the summer they fought back—come hell or dry water . . .

I thought THIS book was just as good if not better then the first book, The Rocking R Ranch. I loved the characters as I really thought I was I was right there with them It's just the way Tim writes his books that makes it so real. I can't wait for his next book "Stampede" coming out in November. It just seems like a long way off to have to wait for that book. Tim Washburn is an excellent writer and Highly recommend both books to everybody------ The Rocking R Ranch" and "The Devil's Rope". If you don't know what the devil's rope is-----READ THE BOOK-----You'll find out.
