The cruel winter of 1860 on the Iowa plains propels JJ Adams to seek out the warmth of California for his young family. But his amazing life story takes numerous unexpected detours, which ultimately result in his son, Will, growing into a gun-toting western hero.
Stumbled across this just out of sheer luck. It's a novel written by a distant relative about my great-great grandfather. Picked it up for some family history and learned some cool stuff.
