With a band of Ute Indians, they follow the Old Spanish Trail to California to steal horses and mules, then return and reap the profits in Santa Fe. The unprecedented raid results in the theft of some 3,000 animals.\u003cbr\u003eDaniel Boone Pickens, a young man on the run from the law in Missouri and in search of a future, signs on for the adventure. Nooch, a young Ute, follows the leader of his band to prove his worth as a warrior. A young vaquero from California, Juan Medina, finds himself involved more from circumstance than choice. Along the trail, the young men forge bonds that surpass race and culture as they face hunger and thirst, fire and flood, bullet and blade.\u003cbr\u003eAnd together they grieve the deaths of more than a thousand of the stolen horses and mules on a mad dash across the dry and desolate Mojave Desert.\u003cbr\u003eBased on the real-life exploits of mountain men \"Pegleg\" Smith, \"Old Bill\" Williams, and Jim Beckwourth with Ute leader Wakara, \u003cem\u003eA Thousand Dead Horses\u003c\/em\u003e dramatizes conflicts in the evolving Old West.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Speaking Volumes LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781645409892\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.54d","brand":"Rod Miller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52051667878069,"sku":"9781645409892","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_412ea379-cf3a-4554-83a8-97b843d15b0d.jpg?v=1764047606","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-thousand-dead-horses-9781645409892","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
