About this audiobook
In 1907, photographer Edward S. Curtis arrived at the Wind River Reservation, hoping to document the Arapaho 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. A descendant of the tribal chief who appeared in Curtis’s pictures has been shot to death, and the museum’s curator has disappeared. The two incidents may be linked to the near century-old murder. Soon, Arapaho attorney Vicky Holden and Father John O’Malley will discover an even more disturbing connection to present-day events.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was a particularly interesting book, as it was centered on the photographer Edward S Curtis coming to the WindRiver Rez and setting up an (artificial) Arapaho village for subject matter. I am fond of those Curtis prints, so found the tale riveting. At the end of Curtis’ life, his daughter smashed all his glass plates and burned the photographs - that’s how jealous she was of her father spending so much time with “those savages.” So far, it’s my favorite of the Father OMalley series.
