At the age of twenty-two Josh Wilkes finds himself and the family ranch in a struggle with a greedy plantation owner and band of outlaws. His father, not back from the war, has left him in charge of protecting his mother and the colored family that lives there in a time just after the Civil War. A time when feelings are of hate for coloreds and someone to trust is hard to find. He finds a horse that surprises him and a girl that his feelings grow for but the one problem is her uncle, the plantation owner and his secret for wanting the Wilkes Ranch. With his wit and roughness, Josh has to take a stand with what friends he has and a horse called Onile, or lose everything.
From the day he was born in the late 1800s, Willie Canes father knew he was special. Willie was taught to trap and hunt in the Tensaw River Delta of South Alabama and became well known for his skills. He was a strong man with a reputation of having no fear and knowing the ways of the swamp. Like the popular stories Jeramiah Johnson and Grizzly Adams, this story is of a young man that learned life the hard way. Willie had one close friend Sam Calhoun and some animals that kept him company. One day a gypsy told him of things to come, even of his desires for a woman that also lived in the delta. Molly Bell, a neighbor, captured his heart as he did hers. Molly left the swamp for the city, leaving Willie alone with no reason and a broken heart that was until she returned. The story is full of history, excitement, mystery, and love.
