Jonah Blue

In 1830, when 10-year-old Jonah Blue's mother commits suicide rather than face another day of life with Jonah's abusive father, he flees the family's Missouri farms to pursue his dream of becoming a Rocky Mountain Free Trapper.

Jonah is befriended by an older Mountain Man named Rensfeld Doggett who starts the boy on the trail to realizing his dreams and making the transition from young boy to young man and eventually a man in the wilds of the Montana Territory in 1853.
