Opis

This is a gripping, fast action tale that takes place in the dangerous and exciting time of the Utah territory in the 1880's. It is a time when the Ute Indians are trying desperately to thwart the advancing white population and is told primarily from the Indian point of view as obtained from interviews from Chief Posey's relatives on the White Mesa reservation.

Not wanting to give away the position of the two braves and herself, she clenched her teeth as her agony increased, and to make sure she was not heard, she pulled a corner of the shawl from her shoulder and put it in her mouth to smother her cries. She died there in the bushes without a sound, protecting those she loved."
