"The Legend of Little Dried River" is the story of Preacher Nehemiah Bleek, a giant bear of a man who is the founder of the Horse Creek Mission School to shelter Indian children orphaned by the Indian wars raging in Colorado Territory. In 1864 the great Cheyenne warrior, Roman Nose, brings his nephew, Red Dust, to Preacher Bleek for safe-keeping. What neither Preacher nor Roman Nose realize is that Colonel John M. Chivington, commanding the cavalry in Colorado, has learned of this sanctuary. An implacable foe of anything Indian, Chivington is determined to wipe out Preacher's lonely outpost.
Wow! What a great collection from the pen of Henry Wilson Allen aka Will Henry and Clay Fisher. "Frontier Fury" gives readers two tales, "Legend of Little Dried River" and the title piece, "Frontier Fury". Both tales are good reasons his fiction was so popular and why Leisure Books have chosen to bring them out one more time. Historically sympathetic to the plight of the natives and the downtrodden, these tales are more than exploit...battle...vitor, they bring out the suffering and the triumph like no other. That's why I like 'em! Tim Lasiuta Great cover too!
