Where U.S. Marshals failed, can farm boy Carson succeed?

After the Civil War, to the people of Oak Bower, Arkansas, “…he'd always be Carson Kettle, son of the man who'd chosen the winning side in the war and would forever pay for it.”

Folks in town all called both him and his father ‘Yankee Lover.’ All but her, and she’s gone.

Only sixteen, and untrained and untried in the ways of Colts and fists and evil gunmen, Carson’s determined to ride into the Indian Territories and bring Lijah Penne to justice. But Lijah’s feared by all, and even the best deputy United States marshal can’t find him.

Can youth and determination overcome an experienced outlaw, forged in the crucible of the Civil War to kill man, woman, or child, without a second thought?

No one thinks so. They say: leave it to the grownups, you’re too young, too inexperienced.

And maybe they’re right, but they don’t feel what Carson feels, and he saddles up anyway…
