In this 'retro' story, a 13 year old Adam Cartwright helps his nearly 7 year old brother, Hoss, deal with the school bully, Jeremy Fitch. A bully that loves picking on the kids that are 'different'. With help from his Pa, too, Hoss proves to his family, and friends, just what he's 'made of', and truly proves 'the mark of a boy '. This is a 'retro - stand alone' story, and can be read at any time, and be easily followed and understood, whether you've read my other stories, or not.

Lucy Cartwright is helping her older brother Hoss and twin brother Joe to deliver glycerine, but she feels the boys aren't giving her credit for the work she's doing.
