Billy Newburg was on the run, a run that led him to a kindly Mississippi river boat captain. Captain Meyer helped shape his growing years and instilled the virtues that the he lived by in a boy now called Coyote Kendall.
The years on the river were only a stepping stone for Coyote, but they were years that he would never forget. His next adventure was on a wagon train headed for Oregon and for him it was a completely new life, a life that he had to adapt to quickly in order to survive.
This was only a starting point for the trails he was about to follow for a man who did not know what his lot in life was. Finding which road to travel was to lead him on many trails and some of those trails were filled with danger, but he was well prepared for danger.
What he wasn't prepared for was meeting a woman who would capture his heart. Victoria McKenzie was a surprise for him in a time that was full of surprises, and he knew he had to figure out a way she would fit into his life.
