Excerpt from the DJ flap:
"Dee Brown's first novel in more than ten years is a powerful, beautifully wrought and ultimately tragic saga about four generations of American Indian life. Against a background of the Revolutionary War period in Georgia and the Carolinas, the forced "removal" west of the Mississippi in the 1830s and life on the Great Plains during the second half of the nineteenth century, Brown traces the life of one family, which over the stormy decades and through intermarriage forged roots in the Creek, Cherokee, and Sioux nations.
The proud and beautiful Creek Mary, daughter of a Muskogee chief, was the matriarch of a family of warriors, hunters, traders, and even some Christian converts. Staunch husbands and courageous wives, they fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, on both sides of the Civil War, and against the hated Bluecoats - the army that inexorably decimated their numbers and stole their land, ostensibly in the name of progress and civilization, but in reality at the bidding of inexhaustible greed and avarice of the white invaders.
