Josiah Pike, a captive of the Lakota, Sioux, came into manhood the hard way...a slave, an outcast,a young man constantly tested...who finally proved himself as a warrior among a people being driven and overwhelmed by a force they didn't understand and came to despise.A turbulent story of man against man, man against the elements, and oft-times, man against himself...who he was, who he found himself to be, and who he eventually evolved into. Terry Grosz is a man who understands the outdoors as few men do, who worked the west all his life, often alone in weather and wild country that few men would willingly face. Don't miss this intense tale of the west.
