Inhaltsangabe

WESTWARD BOUND, the Eastman family makes the startling discovery that they have wandered off the established trail. They push on, hoping to intersect it further west. Instead they are spotted and quickly surrounded by a small band of “Camanches.” The married son Edwin witnesses the brutal murder of his parents and brother. Struck down, he awakens to find himself and his wife bound captives! Tortured and fearing a worse fate for his wife, Edwin Eastman is eventually “rescued” by Wa-ko-met-kla, a powerful priest, and is adopted into the tribe as the priest’s assistant. Summoned from his hard duties one day, however, he is made to witness the bargaining and trading of his wife to an Apache chieftain. He mournfully watches as she is led away, fearing that he will never see her again. Thus begins a true-life tale that has become a classic in the biographical history of the American West. It is a story of the clash of an expanding European culture with those long-established and desperate to remain so.
