The Powder River

A soulful odyssey to reclaim one's homeland...


The northern Cheyenne call Powder River country their sacred home. Now held captive far to the South in so-called Indian Territory, the remnants of this once-mighty nation are growing weak. To survive, the Cheyenne must battle their way to their ancestral home, fending off the pursuit of well-armed soldiers.


Among this outnumbered band are Adam Smith Maclean, born both white and Cheyenne, and his beautiful wife Elaine, a strong-willed New Englander determined to stand by Adam and his desperate, daring people on their trek through the hostile heart of the West-toward the welcoming banks of their beloved Powder River.


An adventurer's story told like never before, the Rivers of the West saga follows those compelled by the evocative grasp of the untamed frontier, looking to carve out a place in America's most awe-inspiring backcountry.
