Abstract
"Wheeler's tragicomic tale, set in 1868, pits an unlikely trio against the untamed Wyoming landscape as they struggle to avoid the infamous Sioux warrior, Red Cloud. Hannah Holt, laden with gold from Virginia City, handsome horse trader Colonel Wiley Smart, and 12-year-old orphan Linc Larrimer face formidable odds as they navigate the Bozeman Trail, marked with the graves of those who have gone before. Too little food, stolen horses, and a forced stay in a Crow Indian village are just a few of the obstacles they must overcome to reach the safety of the Bridger cut-off. But Wiley comes up with a sneaky plan that just may win their freedom."--Back cover.
