Summary
Born a slave on an east Texas cotton plantation, Clay Little Bull was captured by the Kiowa as a child. At the age of twenty, he left the only home he'd known in search of freedom. An outcast among whites, blacks, and Indians, Clay came face to face with the hypocrisy and lawlessness that ruled the West and drew first blood escaping from a band of Kansas slave hunters. With every mile he traveled, Clay moved closer to a truth he was born with: freedom isn't found in a place or a people, but in a man's willingness to love, fight, and die.
