Excerpt from Prairie Farms Prairie Folk, Vol. 2 of 2 On the Embaras river, where there is a cavern that produces all kinds of unearthly sounds, and which emits such sulphurous smells as suggest that it is not far from the regions of his Satanic majesty, a shaft had been sunk. When it had reached the depth of three hundred feet, all the stockholders became sanguine, but with each additional hundred feet of descent, the value of the scrip decreased. So when the depth of nine hundred feet was reported, there was scarcely an investor, if the truth were known, who would not gladly have sold out at a loss of seventy-five per cent on the outlay. However, little of the scrip had changed hands, some sanguine people assert ing that money would not purchase their shares; for as the prospector possessed five thousand dollars worth of stock, the reward for his dis covery and services, and he still stuck to it.

The second book in Rosanne Bittner’s bold Savage Destiny series continues the love story of Zeke and Abbie Monroe. For the first five years of her marriage Abbie lives among the Cheyenne, learning their customs and beliefs and giving birth to a son who is as wild and free as his Native American family, and a daughter who will one day be forced to choose between her Indian and white blood. Through real historical events involving the government and Native Americans, Zeke and Abbie cling to one another through danger and torn loyalties. This story vividly depicts the “right” and “wrong” of both sides in the bloody conflicts that arose as the West was settled. Through it all Zeke strives to reach the point where he can provide his Abbie with a real “white woman’s “ home, where she can set a prized family heirloom, a mantle clock, over a fireplace in a house with real wood floors and a cooking hearth. Though his heart is as wild as his Cheyenne blood, Zeke will give up that life for his beloved Abbie. PRAISE: “Power, passion, tragedy, and triumph are Rosanne Bittner’s hallmarks. Again and again, she brings readers to tears.” —Romantic Times “Extraordinary…Bittner’s characters spring to life.” —Publishers Weekly
