A novel by

 
 
Jesse Owens was only nine years old when his family pulled up deep roots in their Tennessee Valley coal mining town, and headed west. Riding a borrowed horse, Jesse got to ride drag with the outriders. In Oklahoma Territory, he shot an outlaw in the back while saving one of his fellow outriders.
Outlaws kidnapped Jesse’s sister and two of the Stillwell girls in the Texas Panhandle, while the men of the wagon train were off wiping out a Comanchero camp.
Jesse and Delbert Fleming rode hard in pursuit of the kidnappers. They found the outlaw camp around mid-night and Jesse sneaked in and got the girls, running off the outlaw’s horses. Jesse was now a hero, at least in the eyes of his sister and all the girls in the wagon train.
