Stewart Edward White"s tale is the fictional story of young Andy Burnett, inheritor of Daniel Boone"s own long rifle. As powerful and moving today as it was when written in the 1930s, it is the timeless story of maturing youth set against the backdrop of the majestic Rocky Mountains in the early 19th century fur trade era. Recalls a time of endlessly expanding horizons, of oneness with nature and of refreshing innocence.
