About The Little Gun:

“The smallest man. The fastest draw. The deadliest vengeance.”

In the rugged mountains of Missouri in 1852, a boy named Jedidiah was born small in stature but forged in hardship. Orphaned young and raised by his sister, Jessica, his life is marked by ridicule and struggle—until tragedy changes everything. When four outlaws brutalize and murder Jessica, Jedidiah’s world shatters.

Armed with his father’s knife, a Colt pistol, and a relentless will, the boy they mocked as “Little Gun” sets out on a quest for justice. What begins as a struggle for survival turns into a one-person war across the untamed West. Along the way, Jedidiah crosses paths with legends—Buffalo Bill Cody, Billy the Kid, and Wyatt Earp—but his true mission never wavers: hunt down the men who destroyed his family.
