South in the Fall Frank Kelso

When 12, Blackthorn Wolfe hid when Comanches killed his family.

But at 17, he accepts any risk to prove he is NOT a coward.

Blackie begged for a chance to prove himself Pascal's Chief Scout.

His test is to lead a mule train from El Paso to Fort Laramie in 1858.

Pascal LeBrun, his godfather, and owner of the mule-train freight business, calls Blackie's bluff. "If you take this job and fail, I'll question why I keep you around."

Failure means Pascal will toss him out with nothing - no horse, no saddle, no weapons.

No one out West will cut him any slack because of his age - Seventeen.

He must stand as a man, leading his team, and keeping them alive while crossing hostile lands.

Will Blackie succeed in Pascal's challenge or lose his apprenticeship and be left behind?
