Summary

This is a saga of the "Old West" that follows the adventures of an aged mountain man and a young boy, both survivors of a vicious attack by a gang of outlaws, immoral opportunists desperate to flee the onset of winter in the high mountains. Young Davy was thus violently cast into the roiling mix of Indian tribes, soldiers, miners, and outlaws on that fateful day his honest, hard-working parents were brutally murdered. A living relic of the past, affectionately known to him only as "Trapper," rose up to don the mantle of responsibility for the boy, both as caretaker and in the manner of frontier justice, vigilante. Together, the two sought vengeance for the senseless destruction of Davy's family, and unbeknownst to him, deliverance to his grandmother. Trapper musters up to be far more than just the old stable hand that Davy grew up knowing him to be, proving to be gentle yet fiercely protective and, whenever the occasion arises, as lethal as "the worst o' 'em."
