Written by: Carol Hoff
"When Johnny has to drive a wagon by himself over the long and lonely road from his home to San Antonio, he has a big adventure out of proportion to his age. The road he travels was used by the heroes of the early Texas republic, and Johnny responds to his adventures in ways those heroes would have admired.
