| Summary: | Shortly after the Civil War a black family travels to Kansas to take advantage of the free land offered through the Homestead Act. The Muldie boys and their father have come a long way to Kansas to look for land. They build a dugout house, live through a hard winter and are saved from starvation by a band of Osage Indians. Spring comes, and Daddy moves to find a better home for them. The three brothers are left to fend for themselves, and when at last Daddy sends for them, the boys must find courage to brave the dangers of the wilderness alone. |
