A Mountain Trapper rescues a baby boy found alive with his Indian mother, dying in the winter snow. She lives long enough to utter the infant’s first name, TOBIE; then dies.

Wounded but believed dead during an attack by Army Soldiers he survives, while all others are killed. The village is left burning. Now at age 16, Tobie is left with one prospect, venture into a world filled with unknowns. The year 1842; a time in American history when the country is moving fast forward. Now, with great apprehension, he rides alone, into a strange and ill-defined world.

So we seek our knowledge from the past,
Only to learn that life is an ever changing path
that rolls us in and out of the shadows.

To find your way upon the seas of life,
And run aground in tears and strife.

To shine its light on you and me,
And help guide us safely to shore,
To be lost in life’s seas no more -
