The true story of Michael Keenan's struggle to survive against mounting odds and an action-packed adventure that rivals any fiction.

The drought had reached a crisis point. Cattle farmer Mike Keenan decided there was only one solution, he would have to get his starving cattle and his beloved horses to greener pastures north of the border. But when he finally got there, he found his troubles had only just begun.

South-west Queensland seemed like a modern-day Wild West, and as Keenan moved his cattle along the traditional droving routes in search of long-term pasture, he had to match wits with a host of characters as well as Nature herself.

Mike Keenan writes with a deep passion and knowledge of Australian life on the land, tinged with sadness and nostalgia for a way of life under threat. The Horses Too Are Gone will strike a chord with all Australians. (back cover)
