Tim Lister's Massacre at Pilgrims' Pass is a compelling and
fast-paced saga set in the hostile West of 1866. At Pilgrims' Pass,
Cheyenne warriors attack a wagon train of pioneers and kill all
except for a young Harvard-educated surgeon (Sylvester), who is
left for dead, and his sister (Mimi) who is taken captive. In his
quest to rescue his beloved sister, Sylvester encounters people
completely different from him in speech, education, social mores
and dress. He struggles to understand these people as he,
simultaneously, fights to survive life in the savage West. For
instance, he is befriended by an old gunfighter (Luke) and his
partner (Joshua). Luke and Joshua decide to help Sylvester even
though they find it difficult to understand his Harvard-educated
speech and his East coast demeanor. They also find Sylvester's
ignorance of the West to be aggravating, even life-threatening.
While searching for his sister, Sylvester meets a beautiful Sioux
Indian maiden who captivates his heart. Ultimately, he must choose
between remaining in the West with the woman he loves, or returning
to the civilized East to the culture he craves.
