The frontier West in America in the 1870s was rough, largely ruled by the gun. Survival sometimes demanded courage and a rawhide spirit. Cattle still grazed on empty range. Indians roamed free and often fought to preserve their way of life. The Llano Kid had been raised in Kentucky amongst his Cherokee kin before riding west into Texas, following the death of his Irish father and Cherokee mother. A half-breed, as folks often called Indians of mixed race, Llano is no pilgrim in this tough unfamiliar land, and not without his adversaries. Attempts to bully Llano only serve to prepare him with more of what he had learned from a savvy immigrant father. Intelligence is a common trait among the Cherokee. Bravery and good sense help Llano to survive where the cards are often stacked against him. Readers of all walks of life will enjoy following young Llano through the rugged Pecos hills to the parched desert sands of west Texas as he comes of age, carries his load, stands up to trouble, and earns the respect he comes to deserve. This is Llano's first adventure of seven frontier tales authored by PK Brown. Revised and reformatted.
