The Civil War is dying down and the roads are dangerous but with some help the horse is delivered and the slave sees freedom. Wishing to be freed from any remembrance of the slave farm, John has a last name that he refuses to use. John's skill with horses opens doors for him which eventually take him to Fort Worth, Texas. More open doors, over a period of years, find him on a cattle drive to Montana, followed by a second drive into Alberta, Canada. From there, he chooses the name Ware. John Ware stays in Alberta, where he becomes a much loved and respected Alberta rancher. The John Ware story is well known, however since he never learned to read or write he left no historic record of his background"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Slavery $v Fiction. $9 200022 650 0 $a Freed persons $v Fiction. $9 270442 650 0 $a Ranchers $v Fiction. $9 250503 650 0 $a Frontier and pioneer life $v Fiction. $9 199999 655 0 $a Large type books. $9 41148 655 7 $a Western fiction. $2 lcgft $9 856528 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft $9 802185 800 1 $a Quist, Reg, $d 1937- $t Just John ; $v 1. 830 0 $a Thorndike large print Western series. $9 810136 941 $a 6 945 $a lpt 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409042912.0 952 $l EYPC755 $d 20240117011857.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230905010603.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20221208011053.0 952 $l HIPC765 $d 20221118010039.0 952 $l RFPC397 $d 20221101010453.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A86530E2300611EDA406B4E81FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b KAYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
