Description

Mahala and her grown children, Taleaha and White Buffalo left the comforts of the Kiowa tribe to elude the Pawnee who wanted to capture her blonde headed blue eyed children. Led by the spirits they traveled the water way of the Arkansas to where it joined with the wide water and they went north against the current. Days later, through a mist of large falling snowflakes Mahala saw her majestic bull, “The great white.” The huge buffalo was standing on a knoll along the shore and seeing him, she instantly knew, “We stop here.” Pulling to shore, they set up her lodge and lived there. Taleaha had dreams of her betrothed and recognized him when she came face to face with her intended, Running Bear. Running Bear’s father, Chief Bear Claw moved Mahala and her children into the Mandan village nested along the wide Mississippian and Taleaha marries into their tribe. Mahala becomes the tribe’s healer and White Buffalo their “Shaman” the shirt wearer.
During the years that pass, foreseen deaths and war came as life continues, while on the other side of the world in England, a ten year old boy, George Bledsoe grieves over the untimely death of his beloved parents. Sent for by his father’s brother, The Earl of Bledsoe, he comes to live with his uncle in Ireland. Young George is educated and grows into a man and falls in love with a beautiful red headed, green eyed Irish girl and marries her. His uncle’s priest attended the birthing of their first child and during difficulty, he refused to allow the doctor to help her and she dies giving birth. After this heart wrenching experience George argues and threatens his uncle, “You shall never see me again.” He takes his newborn, Sarah leaves his uncles fine manor and boarded a ship bound for the new colonies of the Americas. Step into the pages of the past as Mahala and her children continue to move forward in this saga about the two different struggles of Mahala and George.
