Son of a Basque fur trader and an Iglala Sioux squaw, John "Pawnee" Perez wanted to belong. But along the Virginia City Road in the early 1870s, half-breeds had no friends. The Indians didn't want him. The whites wouldn't call him "brother". So he carved out his own name, his own destiny—and still he ended up caught between the U.S. Cavalry and 3,000 warriors led by Crazy Horse.
