A party of Indian men visited our camp last night! At the sight of them, the fiddles came to a stop. So did the banjos. So did all the people. We just stood and stared. Their chests were bare. Their black hair was braided. They wore deerskin leggings and moccasins. "They're Crow," Captain McCullough explained. Book jacket.

She isn't sure which is worse. Lisa, meanwhile, has to contend with a reluctant cow who really doesn't want to walk across the prairie. Even Carole is finding those long days in the saddle a little more than she bargained for.
