Set in the mid 1800's in the territory now known as Montana. The story centers around a young man, Michael Patrick Calhan 'Cully' for Short, the Sioux Indians and one Melissa Gabrielle Cristina Crawford, the only child of Judge Elias Crawford and his wife.
The judge and his family came out to this territory to prove it can be civilized and it was our right to make this nation stretch from east to west.
The treaty's were made especially after that fateful June day. A battle that still sends shivers down one's spine. A little more than a year ago a mining company from DC sent a party of men to go into the hills and dig for the gold. Dig in the land the was sacred to the Sioux and now the cause of what looked like hostiles between the two again. Raids from all sections of the territory sent hard working decent farmers and their families to Fort. Bennett for safety for themselves and their families. It was at the request of Captain Douglas Stiles that Captain Michael Patrick Culhane Jr, Cully was with orders, to report to the fort and his old friend Doug. Not only was Cully an expert scout he was also the great grandson of Sioux Chief Black Hawk. It was on his way with his orders, this young man and the judges seventeen year old tomboy daughter crossed paths and it was the day destiny would change for both of them.
