The novel takes place in the Wyoming Territory, which is rich in
history. Famous frontiersmen such as Jim Bridger, John Colter, Kit
Carson, Jebediah Smith and General John Fremont spent time
exploring the land and hunting for beaver pelts. Wyoming was also
home to many plains Indians and it is in this backdrop that this
novel takes place. It is about Swedish immigrants, a boy and his
mother, who find themselves in the Wyoming Territory in the 1870's.
The boy, Esben Hjerstedt, and mother live with the Lakota Sioux
after his mother marries a Sioux Warrior named Grey Wolf. His
mother and Grey Wolf are savagely murdered by six wasichus, Sioux
for white men.The rest of the novel has Esben seeking revenge on
the people responsible for killing his mother and Grey Wolf, his
adoptive father.
