Summary
Independence, Missouri
1851Everyone has something to run from.
Ponyboy, Sodapop, and Darry Curtis from their life of poverty, a rough city, and memories of their late parents.
Keith “Two-Bit” Mathews, from a life spent too long at the bottom of a bottle and a house fire he was too out of sorts to do anything about.
Steve Randle, from his father, who has kicked him out for the final time.
Johnny Cade, from his abusive father and uncle, memories of his negligent late mother, and a half-world of his heritage between the Lakota and the white settlers of the trading post.
Dalton “Dally” Winston, from a murder that no one else will truly believe was in defense of Johnny Cade.
Free land in Oregon starts to sound more and more appealing. A new life. Atonement. Everything else they’re looking for.
It won’t be an easy journey, though. They might not all come out the other side. But this ragtag bunch, both old friends and new, is determined to get their last chance at a new start before it slips away from them for good.
Or
The Curtis gang takes the Oregon Trail.
