A deputy sheriff fires a shot at a Native American male-a father of four young children. The bullet shatters his skull; the killing leads to an upheaval in rural Bolton County. The people of Bolton seek a redress in the official corruption and skewed fundamental criminal justice system. County residents-poor Whites, Indians and Blacks-overcome their social and racial differences to organize a united coalition to press for fair and equitable treatment for all citizens. The movement leads to further bloodshed and atrocities. Readers will discover the final outcome of this fact-based fiction, and learn much more about the lives and times of these diverse people of Bolton County.
