Drum Run

Chapter 2.

Miguel O'Brien ran with the Apaches, he ran and ran, and as his legs grew he glided over the desert earth.

He learned how to hide and to hunt, he learned to leave no tracks and he learned to live on what he could keep down, and his name was now Eyes Like The Sky.

His blue eyes showed his father's race, he never wore the white painted face of the slave, he was valued for his stamina and distant vision. By the time he was 15 he had already killed Mexican troopers and feared no man.
