The story follows a young boy named Philip as he dreams of becoming a sheep rancher in the vast landscapes of Texas after his family moves from Mississippi. The narrative explores the challenges and adventures faced by settlers in the American West, particularly in the realm of sheep raising and cattle driving during a transformative era in Texan history. The opening of the book introduces us to Philip on his twelfth birthday when his father gives him twelve ewes as payment for his help in tending the flock. Excited by the possibility of moving to Texas and pursuing his dream of owning a sheep ranch, Philip eagerly collects information about sheep raising. However, the family's transition to Texas comes with obstacles, such as dealing with harsh weather, potential threats from wild animals, and the challenge of nurturing their livestock in a new environment. The strong sense of adventure and the realities of western life set the stage for Philip's growth and experiences in Texas. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
