I knew Grandpa was someone important, but didn't know why. That day, when Father brought me to his house, I knew something had changed. Then there was the overheard conversation. He was dying and wanted to talk to me.
What followed was an education that spanned a lifetime. The story of his life the early days in Tennessee, across the west as a scout. First on the California trail, then later working for the Army during the Indian wars.
There were fights and adventure, but more than anything, there was the story of someone trying to find their place in this world. The lessons he learned along those trails and, for the first time, an understanding of the man who had founded our family. Tobias Bordine was just my grandfather. To other men, he was a legendary lawman. This is just the beginning of the story.
