This is an epic story, the saga of a young man that follows his life from its beginning on his father's farm in northern Missouri to its final fulfillment in New Mexico Territory. The young man follows his dream along the Santa Fe Trail, contending with a myriad of dangerous situations involving hostile Indians, unscrupulous outlaws masquerading as soldiers, and even a formidable enemy within the ranks of the society with which he has aligned himself. Along the way he meets the girl of his dreams and is recognized and rewarded for his work ethic and his intelligence. The story covers the years immediately preceding the War Between the States and the conflicts in Bleeding Kansas and continues through the war years and beyond.
