Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
It is 1831 and Barnaby Skye, the deserter from the Royal Navy turned Rocky Mountain trapper, joins his wife, Mary Quill Woman of the Crow nation, in a journey to her village on the Yellowstone. "Victoria", as Skye calls her, is unhappy with her husband--he drinks too much, and seems afraid to help fight her people's enemies. She falls under the spell of Jim Beckwourth, the wealthy mulatto war chief of the Crows, and in a raid against the Blackfeet, ancient enemies of her people, she is abducted.
Now, Skye must come to her rescue in the Canadian wilderness, win her back from the deadliest of all the mountain tribes, and win her heart again.
"A Tom Doherty Associates book."
On deserting from a Royal Navy ship, sailor Barnaby Skye becomes a fur trapper in America. He marries an Indian woman, but she leaves him to become the second wife of an Indian chief. When another tribe abducts her, Skye goes to her rescue.
