Apache Caress (32 page)

Late at night here in Oklahoma, the warriors still gather in the glow of the powwow fires to tell the old medicine tales while the drums echo and the coyotes call. Like them, I have many, many stories to share. This is your personal invitation to join me in early 1992 as we return to the Sioux nation of 1864 and ride with the white warrior and his woman.

I’ll save you a spot by the campfire. . . .

Georgina Gentry

Married to a mixed-blood Choctaw Indian, and the mother of three, GEORGINA GENTRY was born and reared in Oklahoma, where she still lives in a house built on land war parties once roamed.
