Paul Brown

The frontier West in America in the 1870s was rough, largely ruled by the gun, and demanded courage and a rawhide spirit to survive. Cattle still grazed on empty range. Indians roamed free and often fought to preserve their way of life. The Llano Kid had been raised in Kentucky amongst his Cherokee kin before riding west to Texas, following the death of his Irish father and Cherokee mother. A half-breed, as folks often called Indians of mixed race, Llano is no pilgrim in this tough unfamiliar land. Though he is not without obstacles. Attempts to bully Llano only serve to prepare him with more of what he'd learned from his savvy immigrant father. Not only intelligence, a common trait among the Cherokee, but also bravery and good sense help Llano to survive where the odds stack up against him. Readers of all walks of life will enjoy following young Llano through the rugged Pecos hills to the parched desert sands of south Texas as he comes of age, carries his load, stands up to trouble, and earns the respect he comes to deserve. Look for more Llano Kid adventures from this author to come!
