When Prometheus Jones wins a horse with a raffle ticket he got from Pernie Boyd and LaRue Dill, he knows things won’t go smoothly. No way are those two rednecks going to let a black man, even a freeman from the day of his birth, keep that horse. So as soon as things get ugly, he jumps on the horse, pulls his cousin Omer up behind him, and heads off. They hook up with a cattle drive out of Texas heading for Deadwood, South Dakota…

Thank you for posting this! The book is getting lots of buzz even though it doesn’t come out until Nov. 1, 2008. Middle Schools are already ordering this for all-grade reads and we’re expecting it to be a hot stocking stuffer for kids when it hits the bookstores!
