An exciting gallop through real history with little-known heroes taking the lead. Twelve-year-old William Samuels sets out on the 1889 Oklahoma Land Rush with his father and their faithful mule, Belle. One evening in 1888, Will’s father, who was formerly enslaved, comes home late with news that changes the family’s lives forever. He’s carrying a flyer announcing a land rush more than 400 miles away from where they live as sharecroppers in Texas.
