Promiscuous 14-year-old Jamie Hopewell, banished West because of men-on-boy scandals he was causing in Philadelphia in 1881, finds himself riding into an Apache uprising in the New Mexico Territory as Jamie is going to become the ward of the commander of Fort Cummings, who is willing to take the boy because he has a fetish for 14-year-olds. An Apache band of renegades has other plans for Jamie, though.
A visit to a mornings magistrates court and the speed at which they dealt with girls of the night, gave me the idea for this story. Tony a transvestite gets convicted of being a prostitute and is sent to women's prison. The consequences are almost predicatable.
