Finding Michante

After fighting first alongside the Redlegs and then the Missouri Bushwackers in the Civil War, James Quinn rides into Nebraska Territory to escape the war, under the illusion that he can file a homestead, settle down, and farm. Into his life comes the Otoe woman who healed him and brought him back to life. She bears his child. He loses her and his son and spends the next two years, first with the White Man and then with the Cheyenne, in search of those who took them from him. His half-breed friend Standing Cedar and the demonic renegade Two-Face lead him back to his center and then back home.
