Dan Morgan was a real man, real as the long rifle tucked under his arm, real as the long trails he followed.

However, Dan Morgan was a real person! He lived from 1736 to 1802, and the story begins in 1848 when Dan is twelve years old. The first paragraph sounds like it could be the beginning of the kind of story I was expecting...
