Young Toby Lincoln was an orphan and runaway who'd been pushed around a lot by life. He spent two hellish years in a Colorado prison, falsely accused of horse stealing. Once he was released he swore he'd never go back to jail again and set out for the New Mexico Territory to make a new start. Yet it wasn't long before his dreams of a peaceful life were shattered by a Colorado prison guard and a federal marshal with an extradition order. But Toby wasn't about to pay for someone else's crimes again...and this time he had friends who were ready to move mountains to help him. This time Toby would fight the law. This time he'd push back.
