Linked past and present stories lead to murders on the Wind River Reservation. ( )

In book 10, a 1907 killing affects modern life. Coel wraps Arapaho culture around a murder, some history and a presidential candidate. Father O'Malley plays in the plot but not as much as Vicki. The book flashes back to 1907 on occasion and the listener must account for that. I enjoyed the book, plot and characters...some of them were hateful. Onward to book #11 ( )

In 1907, photographer Edward S. Curtis arrived at the Wind River Reservation, hoping to document the Arapahoe way of life before it vanished altogether. To preserve the legacy of warriors in battle, Curtis staged an attack on a village, planning to capture it on film. But it became all too real when the daughter of the tribe's chief was found murdered-and her killer was never identified.
Now, Curtis's photographs are on display at the museum of St. Francis Mission on the reservation, and history seems doomed to repeat itself.

The killing of a chiefs of a chief's daughter on the Wind River Reservation in 1907 has repercussions for a potential presidential cancidate over 90 years later.At the center of it all are photographs taken on the reservation in 1907. Another good read in this series. ( )
