Set in 1806, OLD FIRE EYES follows thirteen-year-old Benjamin, who escapes from a plantation, armed only with a knife, a compass, and his wits. He carries a secret key and the weight of a promise, determined to carve the face of the man he witnessed murdering his master to bring him to justice. His escape leads him to Miss Polly, a resourceful old woman who devises a plan to protect him from bounty hunters. Simultaneously, John Cooper, a big white boy from what will become West Virginia, embarks on a journey west with his family and their dog, Traveler, seeking the land of promise described by Lewis and Clark. Along their journey, they encounter Smelly Jack, an old Long Hunter who teaches them wilderness survival before parting ways near an Ohio River settlement. Ben's determination enables him to join the Coopers on their flatboat, where they face various adventures, including a wildcat attack and discovering ancient petroglyphs. They find shelter in a cave owned by Crazy Sir Edward and bond over hunting and trapping. Their friendship deepens as they connect with a neighboring Native American tribe, but their greatest challenge arises when they encounter an albino grizzly bear known as "Fire Eyes," believed to be a spirit bear. As Ben uncovers its secret, an exhilarating chase ensues!
