Billy Joe McClanton turned eighteen and thought he was a man. After all he had been doing a man’s work since he was fifteen. He felt it was time for him to follow his own dream after all this was now 1900 and time was slipping away. Then one day he saw a column of wagons heading north. Out of curiosity he rode up to one of the wagons and asked, where everybody was going. That is when he met Mr. Carpenter and his beautiful daughter Mary Beth, and found out that they were going to have a land give away in Oklahoma next month. Was it lure of free land or the chance to see Mary Beth again? A naive eighteen-year-old found himself involved in the midst of one of the most bizarre and dangerous schemes any government ever dreamed up when he placed his name on the list of people signed up for the Oklahoma land rush. The government was giving away fifty-thousand plots of land but one -hundred- thousand people signed up. It was a mad race to be the first to grab a numbered flag that claimed ownership of a piece of land. Horses trampled man when they fell in the rush, gunshots were fired in disputes over who really was first to reach a flag., melees were the realm of the day. A determined eighteen-year-old raced for the piece of land he had chosen to go after. Unfortunately, he lost track of Mary Beth. His first night on his new land, while sitting at his camp fire three bad outlaws decided to rob him and kill him. The leader of the gang was just a little too slow.
