Chapter V. - CAL AND THE CAVALRY AND THE RED MUSTANG.
On a sun‑baked knoll in southern New Mexico, a fourteen‑year‑old rider and his striking blood‑bay mustang burst onto the open prairie. The boy, clad in a palm‑leaf sombrero and a blue flannel shirt, feels at home among the roaming cattle and wild horses, his confidence echoing across the distant mountains. Their spirited gallop introduces listeners to a world where the borderlands pulse with the raw energy of frontier life.
Soon a call for aid draws the pair into a tangled web of Mexican‑border intrigue, where bandits, a determined cavalry, and the mysterious figure Kah‑Go‑Mish loom on the horizon. As the rider seeks help for his community, the red mustang proves more than a trusty mount, becoming a symbol of courage in the face of danger. The opening chapters set a vivid stage of sweeping landscapes, fast‑paced action, and the promise of an adventure that will test loyalty and bravery.
