Before James Middleton Riley becomes known as Doc Middleton, he steals horses in Texas, escapes from prison in Texas, and escapes from jail in Nebraska. From his base in the Sandhills of northern Nebraska, Doc Middleton becomes the king of the horse thieves, and powerful forces join together to stop him. Later in life, Middleton becomes one of the legends of the West who joins Buffalo Bill Cody’s Wild West show. Thanks to our sponsor, Quince!
