Nat tells of his early days (CHAPTER I) When his family was freed from bondage, along with thousands others following Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, Nat Love was still a very young man, ready to start living a new life out west, where he heard he could find work as a cowhand.

Love was proclaimed "Champion Roper of the Western Cattle Country.", and he would become the most famous Deadwood Dick in history, a name which he was proud of the the extent of defending it with his own life.
