Description
When Prometheus Jones wins a horse with the raffle ticket he got from Pernie and LaRue Boyd, he knows things aren't going to go smoothly. No way those two rednecks were going to let a black man, even a free man from the day of his birth, keep that horse. So as soon as things get ugly he jumps on the horse, pulls his friend Omer up behind him, and heads off. They hook up with a cattle drive out of Texas heading for Deadwood, North Dakota.
