This a story based on the life of my great grandfather who ran away from home in Mississippi at the age of sixteen and came to Texas. He arrived in roughly 1860 and was caught up in the Civil War, was captured, escaped by jumping overboard off a steam ship on the Mississippi on his way to the prison camp Camp Douglas in Chicago. He made his way back to Texas and became an Indian Fighter, rancher and Texas Ranger. A good story outlining the life of a young adventurer during the Era of the Civil War and the shaping the Texas frontier.
