The Naked Boy continues on his westward journey in the penultimate chapter of this American epic. The Naked Boy and his new friend Frank the Bum meet Big Man and the last of his tribe. They join together to face off in a last stand against The Boy General. Meanwhile, all the characters in this birth of the nation story move inexorably west for a final collision on the other side of the mountains.

The Naked Boy Part 1 is the beginning of an epic journey from the springtime shores of the East Coast to the late harvest of the West. Mythic and historical figures co-mingle and clash in thismeditation on North America. The continent will never be the same.
