Wolf Ear the Indian: A story of the great uprising of 1890-91

The narrative follows a young sentinel who defends a river ford during an uprising, exchanging gunfire with advancing horsemen and then searching in darkness for his missing parents and companions. Episodes alternate between tense night skirmishes, cautious scouting along the stream, and small-party maneuvers as attackers and defenders test crossings and ambushes. Interwoven scenes examine fear, superstition, and the motives behind the violence, while a named warrior called Wolf Ear becomes central to later chapters and his fate and the consequences of the raids are gradually revealed.
