| Summary: |
Traces the intertwining stories of Civil War hero George Armstrong Custer, his frontierswoman wife Libbie, and fifteen-year-old Anne Cummins, a captive of the Cheyenne after surviving a homestead attack. Anne Cummins survives an attack on her family's homestead, and is thrust into a difficult life she never anticipated-- living among the Cheyenne as both a captive and, eventually, a member of the tribe. Libbie Custer and her husband, Civil War hero George Armstrong Custer, move to the territories with the U.S. Army. There Libbie is challenged daily and her worldview expanded. Each woman discovers self-reliance, freedom, danger-- but after tragedy and loss they realize how indelibly shaped they are by life on the treacherous, extraordinary American plains. -- adapted from amazon.com info. |
