Long John OMalley is only nineteen years old, but hes no greenhorn. The oldest and boldest of the OMalley brothers, Long John cut his teeth tangling with Comanche at the tender age of sixteen. He risked his life to rescue a group of captive women settlers - and forged his own destiny as a hero in the making. Now hes taking on his biggest challenge yet: riding shotgun on a wagon train across the hostile Nebraska Territory. Its a treacherous trail, and its not long before the young Texan is earning his paycheck by fighting off a tribe of bloodthirsty Sioux. But the real test lies in the journey ahead - a genuine ride to hell and back, from the Rocky Mountains to Sante Fe and all the way home - that will either make Long John OMalley a living legend ... or a dead one.
