About this listen
Forbidden love. Broken trust. Deadly choices.
All Graham Davidson desired was to marry Makawee, the beautiful Crow woman with whom he fell in love while exploring Yellowstone. He envisioned a quiet life on the frontier. But when he travels back to Montana Territory in 1872, his dreams are quickly shattered.
Makawee’s father, Long Horse, demands a steep price for his daughter, and Graham must compete with a Crow warrior to win her hand. Tragedy strikes when she suffers an agonizing loss that scars her physically and emotionally.
Long Horse sends him on a mission into the newly created Yellowstone National Park, where squatters and poachers exploit the park’s resources.
Graham and a Crow friend enlist as scouts for the army. When George Armstrong Custer recruits them for the Seventh Cavalry, the friends are soon riding into the Little Bighorn Valley. Should Graham warn the brash cavalry officer his entire command will be killed? Does he betray his Crow friends by warning the Sioux of the pending attack?
Or does he allow both sides to engage in the looming battle at a place destined to be fatal ground?

Set in 1863, the novel follows Lieutenant John Dunbar on a magical journey from the ravages of the Civil War to the far reaches of the imperiled American frontier, a frontier he naively wants to see "before it is gone".

Cody Hoyt, while a brilliant cop, is an alcoholic struggling with two months of sobriety when his mentor and AA sponsor Hank Winters is found burned to death in a remote mountain cabin. At first it looks like the suicide of a man who's fallen off the wagon, but Cody knows Hank better than that. Sober for fourteen years, Hank took pride in his hard-won sobriety and never hesitated to drop whatever he was doing to talk Cody off a ledge. When Cody takes a closer look at the scene of his friend's death, it becomes apparent that foul play is at hand.

Yellowstone is so well described.
This is such a beautiful depiction of Yellowstone and surrounding area. The telling of how the white man had so little regard for life other than their own is gut wrenching but told so well with such respect. I can hardly wait for the next book.

The Anticipated Sequel
I enjoyed visiting sacred Native American sites with Graham, reuniting with Makawee, and spending more time with the Crow. Although I have to admit it was strange viewing the Sioux as the enemy--I've long studied the West from the point-of-view of the Cheyenne, for whom the Sioux (Lakota) were allies and the Crow were the enemy.

Depressing
MC does almost none planning before going back in time. While not buy some golden eagles (19th century coins.). He doesn’t bring a rifle even those he has experienced their necessity for survival. He doesn’t learn medical skills and nursing that can be applied in a primitive setting. He is impatient, naive, and ignorant. Anyone who has read about the experiences on the frontier will know that life was especially challenging for our country’s indigenous tribes. This turns a story of courageous hope and ingenuity into a tragedy.
BUMMER!
