This is the true story of a pioneer boy who crossed the Great
Plains by ox-team with his parents to a settlement in the Great
Salt Lake basin. Unhappy with his circumstances, 11-year-old Nick
Wilson ran away from home with an Indian who had befriended him.
Nick spent the next two years with the Shoshone learning their
language and culture and developing the skills of a hunter. He
participated in buffalo hunts, fought off grizzly bears, witnessed
Indian wars, and even survived being shot in the head with an arrow
and left to die. Later, he became a trapper, Pony Express rider,
stagecoach driver, army scout, and interpreter. He was often called
to track down and negotiate peace with renegade Indians who had
fled the reservation and threatened war. He found himself in danger
numerous times and participated in many skirmishes with both
Indians and outlaws. Growing up among the Shoshones taught him the
skills he needed to survive the rough and wild west.
