Well written story based on actual references to events in the life of Britt Johnson, a freed slave who brought his wife and 3 children to Elm Creek, Texas in 1863. This is the story of the ongoing battle between the settlers who pushed into Indian Territory and the clash of cultures as the Indians continued their long standing tradition of nomadic life, raids for horses and slaves and brutal treatment of those they chose not to enslave.
