Zachary's Arrow

Larry J. Stevens and Dr Larry Stevens

As a young man in the 1830s, Zachary Ryan dreams of traveling into the wilderness along the upper Missouri. Allied with a mountain man, Jonathan Michaels, he encounters the mighty Sioux and Blackfoot nations where he must prove his skill, daring and cleverness at every turn. But his proficiency with the bow and arrow sustains him and his legend as White-Man-With-Flying-Arrows spreads throughout the frontier.Surrounded by acts of treachery, he wreaks a deadly and savage vengeance, casting doubt on his values and beliefs. Seeking solitude after the death of his Indian bride, Zachary witnesses the systematic annihilation of the Indian. While the red man struggles to survive, Zachary sees treaties disregarded and the sacred Black Hills invaded. Finally, in an act of both desperation and vengeance, his arrow finds its mark, thus confirming his legend and bringing a shameful chapter in American history to an end.
