Synopsis

Everyone who grew up listening to the old cowboy songs knows how "Utah Carol" ends. But nobody ever told how it began.

Jeremiah Carroll and Abraham Clancy never intended to ride with outlaws. Hard times drove them into that life, but one morning, they decided to leave it behind and search for honest work.

They found it on the Ames Ranch, under a hard but fair boss named Eli Ames. There, they also met Lenore, a stubborn little girl who decided that the quiet cowboy known as "Utah" was the most interesting man she had ever met.

Years later, gathered around a campfire on a cattle drive, with a storm rolling in, Abe tells the story of the partner he rode beside, the little girl who followed him everywhere, and the red blanket that would forever tie their lives together.

A heartfelt tale of friendship, loyalty, and the kind of love a man rarely puts into words, inspired by the traditional cowboy ballad first printed in 1893 and sung around campfires ever since.
