Indian John

The year is 1812. A white trapper is murdered. And a young Chippewa Indian stands accused.

Captured and shackled in leg irons and chains, Indian John awaits his trial in a settlers loft.

All the while, thirteen-year-old Rebecca Carver sleeps and cooks and cleans below, terrified by the

captive Indian right in her home.

In a world of crude frontier justice where evidence is often overlooked in favor of vengeance,

Indian John struggles to make sense of the white mans court. His young lawyer faces the wrath

of a settlement determined to see the Indian hang. And Rebecca must decide for herself whatand

whois right. At stake is a life.

From the award-winning author of Trouble Dont Last comes a fast-paced drama told in the

alternating voices of Indian John and Rebecca Carver. Crooked River offers a probing look at prejudice,

early American justice, and the true meaning of courage.
