Kidnapped from a westbound Caravan, boy pioneer Matt Cowdry lives much of his growing up years among the northern clans of the noble Arapaho Indians. Walk with him among the scented pines as twilight shadows gather in the valleys of the mighty Rocky Mountains. Ride with him over the grassy foothills in a wild chase for the shaggy "hump-backs". Join his struggle against fierce enemies, both white and brown, and feel the emotion of conflict when facing the painted face of a sworn enemy. Watch from a lofty ridge as timber wolves surround a lone bull moose in winter. Join him in the midst of a shy, quiet people, who live each day with the hope that the Great Spirit will smile favorably upon them, but being sadly aware that death lurks just a step away.
