In 1876, they wipe out General George A. Custer and his 7th
Cavalry at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Chief Sitting Bull and
his Sioux people then flee from the United States to Canada. There,
in the autumn of 1877, the Sioux are joined by the remnants of the
latest Indian nation to make a stand against the US Army, the Nez
Perce. Their survivors are led by Chief White Bird.
A young man follows White Bird to Sitting Bull's camp. He is
White Bird's close relative and aims to tell the story of the Nez
Perce War from the Nez Perce point of view. This young man's name
is Duncan McDonald. Descended from chiefs of the Nez Perce and from
chiefs of Scotland's most formidable clan, Duncan's family - first
as Highlanders, then as Native Americans - have twice been victims
of massacre and dispossession.
Written with the help of Duncan McDonald's present-day kinsfolk
on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Western Montana, this
real-life family saga spans two continents and more than thirty
generations to link Scotland's clans with the native peoples of the
American West.
