Overview

Johnny Fry's favorite times growing up were when his Uncle Bill would visit, and with Johnny's pa, they would sit round the stove at night and talk of adventures they had in their youth as riders for the Pony Express. When Johnny's pa dies in the Spring of 1884, eighteen-year-old Johnny sets out to ride the Pony Express Trail to Sacramento, nineteen hundred miles away. With his 'little buddy', Jinx, a little black cat, he leaves his Kansas hometown and rides into a reality much different from the dreams of his childhood. It's a reality of sweeping grasslands, towering mountains, simmering deserts, and raging rivers; of drunks, thieves, and murderers; of friends and enemies and someone to fall in love with. The West of 1884 is still the wild and beautiful place of legend. Billy the Kid and Jesse James are not long in their graves, Wyatt and Virgil Earp are alive and living in California, and the great cattle drives are still fresh in the memories of many. Surrounded by the beauty and perils of the Old West, Johnny must become a man or die trying.
