YELLOW HORSE
In response to a sacred vision, the half Comanche, half Cherokee warrior, Yellow Horse, returns to the Indian Territory from Texas to discuss his vision with the great Comanche war chief, Quanah Parker.
Yellow Horse is a man on the edge. He's struggling to understand his place as a Comanche warrior in the rapidly changing times, and the white man's world. He's found some comfort scouting for his peoples' long-time enemies, the Texas Rangers
To improve his beef holdings, Quanah needs a man to buy breeding stock and herd them to the reservation.
Yellow Horse has come in answer to his prayers.
He is surprised to learn that Quanah is no longer fighting the American government. He too is learning to think and speak like a white man.
In a time when native people are hated and feared, Yellow Horse sets out to find someone who will sell cattle to the Comanche, hire drovers, outfit a cattle drive, and deliver the herd to the Indian Territory. Before he can bring in the herd, he'll have to confront rustlers and track down the outlaws who destroyed a small settlement. They've kidnapped the woman he loves, an army Colonel's daughter.
They will show him no mercy.
None will be shown them.
The story is set in the Panhandle of Texas and the Indian Territory of Oklahoma in the late spring of 1877. It includes many historic figures who lived in the area at the time. It's another a contribution to the many books of historical fiction that address the frontier period .
