A quick-reading biography (for ages 10 to 110) that explores the

Indian girl with "the Mark of Honor" journeyed east with her
husband and other Plains Indian chiefs. There, she became "the
Darling of Washington D.C. Society." Then tragedy struck, and she
and her story were nearly forgotten for 140 years--until a series
of events brought her portrait home and her story to light. This is
another book in the award-winning Noteworthy Americans Quick Reader
Biography series; includes color illustrations, glossary and index,
endnotes, select bibliography, and (optional) critical thinking
questions and activities.
