When they came for him, he knew what he had to do…run! Quaker farm-boy James Deeter escapes west ahead of Union Army recruiters, aiming to look manly aboard my Appaloosa horse, long hair flying free from under a wide-brimmed, rawhide sombrero, a couple of six-shooters on my hips and a plains rifle dangling from a brass-tacked saddle. Instead, Deeter lands smack in the middle of the bloody guerilla war along the Kansas-Missouri border, an even greater affront to human decency than the Civil War itself, and a shock to Deeter’s pacifist upbringing. To save his life, Deeter rides with rebel leaders William Quantrill, Bloody Bill Anderson, and the teen-aged James and Younger brothers. To save his soul, he tries not to hurt anybody… Which works for about a minute. Can Deeter reconcile his peace-loving faith with his participation in some of the most violent episodes in American history? Can he even survive? His horse doesn’t think so.
