About this ebook

JAKE MOSS was born on an East Texas ranch-plantation. The owner, Hiram Jenkins, took a liking to the intelligent, good-natured youth and taught him to read, write and speak properly. In trusting Jake so completely, Hiram also taught him to shoot and made him the family's personal bodyguard.
When Hiram died, the estate was inherited by a nephew from Houston. Jake, who was married by this time and the father of a ten-year-old son, was stripped of his gun and placed back into manual labor. When the land and the household, which included the slaves, were sold off, Jake was purchased separately. His wife and son were bought by a salesman gathering "stock" to be sold through-out the west. Assuming Jake would escape, he was kept in chains for six months. When he finally gave his word he would not run off, the chains were removed and that very same night, Jake went looking for his family.
This is the Story of His Search.
