The Oregon Territories circa 1850 are home to the Blackfoot,
Shoshone, and Crow, among many other warring tribes. The majesty of
the untamed rivers and mountain ranges have provided a backdrop to
the ever-present conflicts between these proud peoples, but contact
with the white man is changing the balance of power in unimaginable
ways.
Bitter events make enemies of Lame Elk of the Shoshone, tragic
in his rise to prominence, and Two Horns of the Blackfoot,
reluctant in his call to leadership. Separately, these two warriors
must lead their people against a myriad of threats, not the least
of which include disease, famine, and almost constant battle.
As life continues unabated in the Indians' struggle for
dominance, the white man is making deeper inroads into the western
United States, with adventurers and criminals seeking their
fortunes in a lawless land. Driven into the mountains to escape a
manhunt, a falsely accused young man named Corby ends up saving
Donovan, the ex-marshal pursuing him. The two unlikely friends
travel through the Oregon Territories, where Corby finds he has an
uncanny ability with a gun -- and establishes something of an
unwanted reputation.
"The Lone War Cry" follows these unforgettable characters
through numerous hardships and challenges until circumstance links
their stories together, driving them to their dramatic
conclusions.
