Redskin

By Lewis B. Patten

Subjects: Cheyenne Indians, Fiction

Description: Charlie, the young grandson of a prominent rancher, had been taken hostage by a band of vicious Cheyennes after they had slaughtered his parents. The search party forced Charlie to act as their scout. Charlie was an Indian forced by whites to pursue other Indians! If he failed, he knew they would kill him. But even if he succeeded, over the incredible odds, would they really ever accept him as anything other than a redskinned outcast? A series of bloody events along a treacherous trail and the sympathy of a young white woman, also a victim of Indian brutality, would only add to the unpredictability of the outcome.
