American Indian Historical Fiction

This magnificent novel by one of America's finest writers is the epic of one man's remarkable journey, set in 19th-century America against the background of a vanishing people and a rich way of life. At the age of 12, under the Wind moon, Will is given a horse, a key, and a map, and sent alone into the Indian Nation to run a trading post as a bound boy. It is during this time that he grows into a man, learning, as he does, of the raw power it takes to create a life, to find a home.

The year is 1870, and Fool's Crow, so called after he killed the chief of the Crows during a raid, has a vision at the annual Sun Dance ceremony. The young warrior sees the end of the Indian way of life and the choice that must be made: resistance or humiliating accommodation.

Millie Sloan and her family have spent their lives toiling at the hands of others. When she and her brother, Buck, get an opportunity to start a new life in Wyoming Territory, they head west to the vast and open frontier. They arrive only to discover that someone from Millie's past is waiting there for her. This time, Millie vows not to allow her heart to be torn in two.
