About This Book

A young boy named Buddy grows up amid cattle drives and prairie life, learning horsemanship, trail craft, and survival skills while forming a close bond with a clever horse and a rugged chuck-wagon community. Episodes range from tense encounters with Indigenous people, rattlesnakes, and gunfire to the everyday routines of herding, cooking, and navigating long trails. Along the way he faces theft, outlaws, and personal tests, meets a woman who alters his path, and moves from boyish daring toward adult responsibility as the trail reaches its end.
