The story revolves around a young boy named Little Crotchet, who, despite being crippled, finds a unique bond with his Gray Pony and exhibits a brave spirit. The narrative also introduces a runaway named Aaron, weaving a tale of adventure and the mysteries of the swamp where he seeks refuge. The opening of the novel presents Little Crotchet, a boy who walks using crutches, and depicts his spirited personality as he rides through the plantation on his Gray Pony. As he observes a peculiar blue smoke rising from the swamp—a source of mystery among the locals—he engages with characters like Ben Gadsby, who displays a mix of bravado and fear. The tension surrounding Aaron's presence as a runaway grows, highlighting both the boy's courageous nature and the mystical elements of the wildwoods. The relationships among the plantation's inhabitants, black and white, hint at deeper societal issues and the significance of bravery, friendship, and loyalty in a turbulent setting.
