Pardners is a work of historical fiction, the first in a series of novels, which ends near the turn of the twentieth century, with the spectacular and unconventional death of Wiley. Wiley goes through life making a series of mistakes that transform him from hero to villain in short order. He also develops an unbreakable bond with his two horses, General Sherman and Torch. No matter the trials, tribulations, and causes of separation, once reunited, their comradeship grew stronger as pardners. Wiley and his pardners were destined never to find what they wanted most--peace and freedom. Despite the deaths of all main characters, that does not always mean the end of the historically fictional tale. They left a legacy behind.
