An Elusive Stallion and the Boy

The turn of the century held many changes in the history of the Rocky Mountains of Montana. Buffalos and wild horses roamed this country in the late 1800s. Great stallions and their herds of horses had crossed the plains of Montana, eating grass, which was plentiful. Harold Clark followed his dream and brought his wife, Sara, to the eastern foothills of the beautiful Rocky Mountains after Montana became the forty-first state of the union in 1889. Life was hard with severe winters. Harold and Sara’s son, Bob, had one dream—hunting for a white stallion who roamed this wild country, stealing mares from the ranchers. Against his father’s wishes, Bob is determined to capture the stallion, who is elusive and intriguing. Bob’s love of his childhood friend and his father’s insisting on his need for education also plays into his future decisions.
