(2) 4-6 In 1876 Tennessee, African American Prometheus Jones, thirteen, is wrongly accused of stealing a winning raffle ticket. With his younger cousin Omer, Prometheus escapes with the prize, a one-eyed horse, and sets out to find his father. On the trail, the compelling, brutal realities of cowboy life share space with painstaking character development and vibrant dialogue in this memorable novel.
