Long John OโMalley is only nineteen years old, but heโs no greenhorn. The oldest and boldest of the OโMalley brothers, Long John cut his teeth tangling with Comanche at the tender age of sixteen.

Itโs a treacherous trail, and itโs 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 aheadโa genuine ride to hell and back, from the Rocky Mountains to Sante Fe and all the way homeโthat will make Long John OโMalley either a living legendย .ย .ย . or a dead one.
