The son of a blacksmith, he'd learned some useful skills of his father's trade. Red isn't too happy to find out that his parents had made the decision to join a wagon train to Oregon. Only when his father assures him that he would be able to hunt every day they were on the trail, did young Red agree to go along, without a lot of fuss.While on the trail, a stop for wagon repairs at Fort McPherson brought an end to Red's family, when his mother took up with an Army man. His father in jail and his mother with other things on her mind, Red leaves the safety of the wagon train and heads out on his own. In Dodge City, Kansas, he finds himself a temporary home and a job as a smithy's assistant. Avenging the honor of a lady he didn't even know, Red is offered a job in Texas as range boss.His new employer, John Chisholm, recognizes Red's quick reflexes and insight for trouble, and takes a shine to the young lad. When Chisholm's niece is kidnapped from the overland stage, Red and his new-found compadre, Butch, go from being ordinary cowhands to deputies with a personal vendetta - to find the man responsible for the kidnapping of his boss's niece, and to find young Bess and bring her back home. Chasing after the kidnapper proves to be the hunt of a lifetime for Red O'Fallon.
