Description
It seems there will never be an end to the bloody “Indian wars” in the western United States. Whites and Native Americans, crazed by mutual hatred, mercilessly wipe each other out. The Indians, at least, have enough mercy to spare white children whom they take with them and raise according to their tribal traditions… which creates no small problem for the few relatives who later, by sheer miracle, manage to find and buy back those young captives—like ten-year-old Joanna Leonberger.
Captain Kidd, a veteran of many wars, is used to living alone, moving from settlement to settlement, earning money by reading newspapers aloud to the barely literate settlers of the Wild West. But this time he has another, more profitable assignment—to escort Joanna across all of Texas to her uncle and aunt.
They travel together across endless prairies: an old man who can shoot without missing and a girl who knows not a word of English. They ride through wild lands where you must always stay on your guard, because deadly danger lies around every step, behind every turn…
