Synopsis

Sixteen-year-old Titus Bass fears one fate more than any other: never to experience the great wilderness or the wildness inside himself. So late one night he snatches a squirrel gun and a handful of biscuits, flees into the woods, and doesn’t look back.From Louisville past the Chickasaw bluffs and the Natchez Trace all the way to New Orleans, he plunges into the rough-and-tumble life along the banks of the Mississippi. It is a volatile, violent country of boatmen and river bandits, knife fights and Indian raids, strong liquor and stronger women. Yet beyond the great river stretches the vast, unexplored expanse of the Great Plains. And it is here that young Titus will seek his future—and risk everything to seize it.

A different kind of novel. I didn't know what to expect when I bought this book, but it surprised me, a different writing but gave a glimpse of life on the frontier in the early days of America. I enjoyed it......more

Goodreads review by Steve on February 27, 2008

An exciting tail of a young man's adventures as he breaks away from his parents and the farming life he loathes. Sometimes I think he gets too much into the character's thought process, but overall, I'd recommend it to anyone who likes early frontier adventures.......more

Quotes

“[A] prequel about Bass’s coming of age in frontier America…Sound, meticulously researched, historically accurate.” Kirkus Reviews

“The historical and geographic descriptions are vivid, as are the many hearty and colorful characters.” Publishers Weekly

“Johnston is a deservedly popular western author whose appeal lies not so much in the adventures he dramatizes as in the depth of his characters. They love, grieve, laugh, and feel guilt, anger, and jealousy. They’re real people, not just providers of vicarious thrills.” Booklist
