Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
With her husband in the local insane asylum, Libbie Duly leaves Chicago in 1866 for booming Virginia City, Montana Territory. On the Oregon Trail she gives birth to the remarkable Danny Duly, who had already begun narrating this emigrant tale from the womb. Along the dangerous Bozeman Trail, Libbie and son fall into the hands of a Sioux warrior, and the emigrant story becomes a chronicle of captivity.
Even before his birth, Danny Duly relates his life story as his mother leaves his father in a Chicago asylum in 1866 and heads for her sister's home in the boomtown of Virginia City, encountering many colorful characters and giving birth to Danny along the way.
