He grew up with a Cherokee tribe and became blood brother to the chief's son, Leaping Wolf.

After he kills a man who was riding him for being small, Pat's life changes in ways he can't control. He sells his skills as a gunman. In Mexico, he protects a silver mine from banditos and then helps them to improve their operation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOne fateful day, however, on a job rustling cattle, he finds God and a better way to live.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePat is soon welcomed as the youngest Arizona Territorial Ranger, and he puts his skills and talents to the Lord's work.
