- Synopsis
- That pinto colt was spirited and strong, as well as strikingly beautiful. So it was not surprising that the cowboys of the Gunnison Ranch spotted him out on the mesa near Big Thunder Mountain where he was roaming with his mother, a half-wild range mare. All that fall and winter they tried to capture Hurricane Pinto, but he was slippery as an eel and too smart for them. It took five cowboys, tophands at the ranch, to catch him. And then he threw four of them, including Ben Williams, the greatest rider of them all-and raced after Ben with his teeth bared. Ben went over the top of the corral like a squirrel. Everyone decided Pinto was a born outlaw, except sixteen-year old Joe Gunnison. He insisted on taking the young horse, so it was really a relief to Joe’s father when two tough-looking hombres stole the pinto. But Joe wasn’t going to lose his horse. He went after him, and that was the beginning of a series of adventures and a thrilling escape through the horrors of Death Valley and past the Funeral Mountains. In the end, Hurricane Pinto saved the life not only of Joe but of Joe’s father. No one ever called him an outlaw again.
