Black Hawk Journey

- $16.99
When reporter Lawrence Case travels to Utah Territory in 1871 to cover a rumored Indian gathering, he stumbles onto the hidden history of the Black Hawk War. Told by a Ute medicine woman and a legless Paiute, it follows Silas Hastings—a half-breed cowboy rejected by both races—as he runs guns, drives stolen cattle, and loves two women while the Utes fight to hold their homeland. A sweeping, brutal, and bittersweet frontier saga of injustice, identity, and belonging.
- The forgotten Indian war that raged in Utah for years while the nation looked away
- A half-breed cowboy who belongs to neither the white nor the Ute world—and loves women in both
- An unflinching look at frontier atrocities on BOTH sides, including Bear River and Circleville
- A frame-story mystery: why is a dead man pickled in a tin box in the Coalville jail?
“To all the Ike Potters of the World May their good deeds be remembered and their sins forgotten”
Perfect for an adult reader of frontier westerns and Utah/Mormon pioneer history who wants an unflinching, morally complex take on the Black Hawk War.
