Book Description
On November 13, 1833, mountain man Broken Hand Fitzpatrick rescued a four-year-old boy from the warring tribes of Arapaho and Crow. For the little boy, there was only the distant memory of his mother, Elizabeth Hampton Abbott -- and of her dying pledge of vengeance on the Arapaho man who was one her captor.
It would be many years before young Hampton Abbott returns as Indian agent to the Arapaho territory, and no one but Broken Hand Fitzpatrick recognizes the boy he had rescued long ago. But the memory of a mother's words returns to possess the young man, as Hampton Abbott renews the pledge to search for the Arapaho man who haunts his destiny...his own true father, Bad Hawk.
Only the love of the woman warrior Stands Shining reminds the Indian agent of his debt to the Arapaho people. Torn between his duty to the "bluecoat" policy and his debt to the Arapaho tribe, Hampton Abbott finally pursues the "medicine way" toward a lasting peace...winning the honor of an Indian name and the love of a woman in his father's tribe.
