She could see a river up ahead, and in the distance rocky mountains jutted into the sky. There were other riders cantering beside the cattle, too, wearing wide-brimmed hats and long leather chaps. “Wow!” Laura exclaimed. “It’s a Wild West cattle drive!” Chapter 2 Laura didn’t have time to wonder how she’d gotten here. Some of the cattle were bellowing
