Couldn't put it down!

I am a student, of sorts, of Native American History. I stumbled upon this book by accident, and was intriged by the story summary. I was not disappointed. The author spun a tale with rich characters, history, drama and a heartwrenching ending that kept me reading till the wee hours. I also thought his Native American characters were respectfully depicted. That is very important to me. I look forward to other books by this author. If this is his usual caliber of writing, I have found a new favorite.
