520    "In 1872, sixteen-year-old Goes First, a Crow Native woman,
       marries Abe Farwell, a white fur trader. He gives her the 
       name Mary, and they set off on the long trip to his 
       trading post in the Cypress Hills of Saskatchewan, Canada.
       Along the way, she finds a fast friend in a Métis named 
       Jeannie; makes a lifelong enemy in a wolfer named Stiller;
       and despite learning a dark secret of Farwell's past, 
       falls in love with her husband. The winter trading season 
       passes peacefully. Then, on the eve of their return to 
       Montana, a group of drunken whiskey traders slaughters 
       forty Nakota--despite Farwell's efforts to stop them. Mary,
       hiding from the hail of bullets, sees the murderers, 
       including Stiller, take five Nakota women back to their 
       fort. She begs Farwell to save them, and when he refuses, 
       Mary takes two guns, creeps into the fort, and saves the 
       women from certain death. Thus, she sets off a whirlwind 
       of colliding cultures that brings out the worst and best 
       in the cast of unforgettable characters and pushes the 
       love between Farwell and Crow Mary to the breaking point"
