In 1855, Robert McAllister was just ten years old. Living with a mother who barely accepted him, a grandfather who loved him but spent less of his time with him than with a jug of whisky, and two uncles who were busy running their Arkansas farm, Robert had to make his own entertainment.
In the spring of his tenth year, he met his first slaves, and in them he found a kind of acceptance he had never known. As Robert struggles with the truth of every idea about humanity with which he has been raised, his young personality is molded by the good and the bad of many races--white, black, and Indian. And he develops the deep friendships that will mold his future.
Join young Robert in this, the first in a line of books that will lead to his final adventure, the best-selling 1998 novel, Death of an Eagle.
