About this ebook
Sam Plunkett is fourteen years old when he leaves St. Louis for the last time in 1833 and goes to live in the Rocky Mountains as a fur trapper and marry a Cheyenne woman. His life, from that year till his death in 1906, is a story of a man with his heart among Native American people facing conquest by the American nation. As a renegade, he is caught in between.
