Description
This true story recounts the life of an 11-year-old boy who ran away from home to join an Indian tribe in the 1850s. Adopted by the mother of Chief Washakie, he spent two years learning their language and culture, developing skills as a hunter and participating in buffalo hunts.
He went on to become a trapper, Pony Express rider, overland stagecoach driver, army scout, and interpreter, often finding himself in danger while negotiating with renegade Indians. His experiences among the Shoshones taught him the skills he needed to survive the rough and wild west.
