About this title

Synopsis

Young Lew Dorset is a runaway from his uncle's tyranny following his father's daring prison break. He heads to the Far West because that is where his father has gone to lose his identity. After their freight train is attacked by Cheyenne Indians, Lew and his new friend, Chuck Morns, spring an ambush on the marauders and are pursued until they find shelter in a Sioux Village. It is here that Lew comes to know the great Sioux chieftains, Standing Bear and Three Buck Elk, saves the life and becomes a blood brother to Sitting Wolf. Once he does find his father, their confrontation is harrowing.
