Johnny, age 11, his two little brothers, and his father are an African-American pioneer family who have traveled far to get free land in the west. Living in a sod dugout in Nicodemus, Kansas, they face a harsh winter, starvation, and cold. In the spring their father travels on to find land and the boys stay alone. When their father sends for them, they summon their courage and travel alone for 150 miles to find him. Their courage and their faith in their father carry them home. |
