Description
This book tells the story of a group of Cheyenne Indians who were forced to leave their home in the American Southwest and travel to Yellowstone National Park in order to return to their tribe. The journey was long and difficult, and the Indians were often forced to travel on foot or on horseback. The book also includes an introduction by Alan Boye, which provides background information on the Cheyenne people and their history.
In the autumn of 1878 a band of Cheyenne Indians set out from Indian Territory, where they had been sent by the U.S. government, to return to their homeland in Yellowstone country. Mari Sandoz tells the saga of their heartbreaking fifteen-hundred-mile flight. Alan Boye provides an introduction to this Bison Books edition.
