At fourteen years old, Josh Craven had no idea that his daily practicing a quick draw with his father's new Navy Colt would some day lead to killings and a reputation. He'd picked up the gun to ward off the boredom of living on the desolate plains of west Texas in the mid-l800s. Little did the fourteen-year-old know that in the next ten years there would be four men dead as a result of his swift, deadly aim, and he had no idea he'd be chased over half of the Lone Star State by a ruthless gunslinger. Then there would be the Garza brothers, who needed information from Josh before they killed him. Nor would he have ever dreamed of developing a life-long friendship with wrangler Louie Reininger, a storyteller personified, and...then there would be Laura, and a horse named Socks.
