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.
