Summary

"In 1873, a Cheyenne chief offers President Grant an exchange of one thousand horses for one thousand white women, who he intends to marry with his warriors and create a lasting peace. These women, "recruited" in penitentiaries and asylums, gradually integrate into the way of life of the Cheyenne. After the Battle of the Little Bighorn, some female survivors decide to take up arms against the United States. This ghost tribe of rebellious women will soon go underground to wage an implacable battle, which will continue from generation to generation"--Back cover
