Whiz and Ramblin Red Scarf are two men who lived in the American West in the 1850's. They were typical of the hardy men and women who led the way, bringing civilization to an untamed land. They were former Texas Rangers, miners, traders, and trappers who chose to live in the Rocky Mountains. Their saga is part of the many stories of the brave men and women who fought the elements, the loneliness of the prairie and hostile forces to begin the opening of the American West to settlement.
