A young frontier photographer goes West to escape the Civil War draft and settles in the Bitterroot Mountains, ancestral home of the Nez Perce Indians. There he becomes obsessed with a young Irish pioneer woman he spies swimming nude in a mountain lake. He comes to admire the Nez Perce and photographs the young leader, Chief Joseph, and a Nez Perce woman warrior (based on a real historical person). Their stories tangle in a ruthless convergence of fates. As he chronicles Chief Joseph's desperate struggle to save his people and their harrowing 1,500-mile exodus to the Canadian border-the medicine line-to join Sitting Bull in freedom, he feels complicit in their demise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Blood to Rubies has already garnered early praise from New York Times bestselling authors, calling the book \"brilliant,\" \"heartbreakingly beautiful,\" \"unforgettable,\" and \"a riveting debut.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koehler Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45139073597591,"sku":"9798888240724","price":1735.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798888240724.webp?v=1768543655","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/blood-to-rubies-9798888240724","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
