About This Book

A sixteen-year-old boy travels with his ailing father and a company of pioneers determined to occupy disputed Oklahoma land before it is officially opened. The narrative shifts between crowded wagon camps, scouting expeditions, violent storms, disappearances and clashes with opposing interests as leaders organize attempts to secure claims. The boy confronts practical dangers, acquires frontier skills and assumes greater responsibility while allies and rivals test loyalties. Episodes highlight resourcefulness, communal effort and the chaotic scramble for land, depicting both adventure and the everyday hardships of settlement life.
