Description
The year is 1902. A young stock-handler named Fenton Pardee has just survived the train wreck that almost destroyed William F. Cody's Wild West show. Surveying the train's smoldering ruins--and what is left of Cody's company of stunt-riders, trick-shooters, and stage actors--Fenton realizes that turning the West into a circus to thrill the world is no longer thrilling for him.
