The Story
This is the story of a teenager’s unique coming of age on an
epic, 1,500-mile cattle drive through the rugged wilderness of 19th-century
British Columbia
Loosely based on an actual cattle drive to the Yukon during
the Klondike gold rush of 1896-1898, this fictional tale pits 17-year-old
Cory Twilingate against an almost insurmountable wilderness in an effort to
save his father’s cash-strapped ranch. Supporting him all the way is his
father’s recently hired foreman, “Reb” Coltrane, a ruggedly handsome and
trail-savvy cowboy from Texas, and as a result a bond is formed between them
like two Spartan cohorts fighting shoulder-to-shoulder against the
rigors
of the trail.
This is a tale that explores the phenomenon of male bonding under
extraordinary and sometimes perilous conditions. It is also a romance that
includes those most American of institutions, i.e., cowboys and cattle, but
as told from a gay perspective. Whether it is a rugged tale of adventure, or
a coming of age romance you are seeking, “Coming of Age on the Trail”
delivers on all counts.
