Potee left home. He hasn't figured out where he's going yet. He'd like to find a place where no one yells, and where there is plenty of food and some way to work for meals. What never crossed Potee's mind was becoming a cowboy. Had he been twelve or thirteen, being a cowboy might have been at the top of his list of things he wanted to do. He was sixteen and ideas like that didn't seem practical. He wasn't a kid.

Accidental Cowboy tells the story of young Potee, his troubles at home and his eventual meeting with Pardo, an honest to goodness cowboy.
