A boy named Davy goes west with the freight wagons and finds himself alongside young Billy Cody, already a seasoned plainsman at an age when most boys are at school. Together they herd cattle, survive attacks and see the Overland Trail grow from wagon train to stagecoach and Pony Express. A chronological table ties the story to real events, and its view of the Plains peoples is that of 1914.
