Linus McCabe had learned a lot about life on the prairies from his friend Gus and those lessons along with the friendship he developed with members of the local Sioux people made an imprint on his life. As the young boy grew into manhood his path was guided by that wisdom and those friendships. When things grew dark and hard between the Sioux and the United States Army he refused to scout for the army against them but a call to Washington by the Chief General of the Army was a call that he could not refuse. It was that meeting that put him on a path of conspiracy that almost took the life of Sitting Bull, the spiritual leader of the Sioux Nation and sent his own life down a road of trial and tribulation. Along the way he met the woman that would be by his side every step of the way but even her love was not strong enough to fight the forces that were against him.
