His experiences during a round-up, presented in fascinating form, detail the exciting, adventurous life of a cowboy. Hugh braves the perils of a frontier settlement, rescues damsels in distress in an Indian raid, and others from outlaws. Packed full of adventure, Hugh displays resolve as he searches for the truth of what happened to his uncle in the wild West.
