In 1874, a Cheyenne war party attacked the wagons of a family of settlers traveling through Kansas. Only four survived, all young girls who witnessed the slaughter of their parents and siblings before being carried off by the Indians. This book presents their ordeal, using their words and memories to craft a first-person narrative.
