His family members are marched off to a stockade in preparation for Removal to Indian Territory. Alan is left alone to fend for himself How can a little boy survive on his own? And how will he ever make his way to Indian Territory to look for his family? Josiah Miller has won the McLachlan homestead in the Georgia lottery and moves into Alan's uncle's house. He tries to be kind to the boy. But Josiah's wife doesn't want Alan around and reports him to a former soldier.
