Jonathan Daniel Dunne had big dreams. He wanted to be a Texas Ranger, to be a lawman, to help people, to put away bad men and keep the world safe.
Instead, he helped his mother at work, cleaning up Master Jones' manor. Instead, he went to school when he could, hoping to broaden his potential and give himself a future.
Then Ma died, leaving him completely alone, and the scant amount of money she'd saved wasn't near enough to go to college.
Master Jones(who he was almost sure was his father) said he'd have a position for the rest of his life, but he couldn't stand being a servant.
So he headed out west; he'd taught himself to ride on Master Jones' horses, taught himself to shoot when he could, and he would fulfill his dreams.
No one in the world expected him to succeed, but Jonathan Daniel Dunne became JD and he wouldn't allow himself to fail.
