This novel takes readers deep into the heart of the 19th century on the vast windswept plains of the American West, where at the time great herds of bison still roamed. It tells the tale of Quanah Parker, a young Native American rejected by his clan over his blue eyes and imposing height, who later became the last chief of the Comanche tribe. His story is that of an entire people who fought to save their culture, their land, and their beliefs in the face of the white settlers' thirst for destruction.
