A white trapper is murdered. And a young Chippewa Indian stands accused. \u003cbr\u003eCaptured and shackled in leg irons and chains, Indian John awaits his trial in a settler's loft.

And 13-year-old Rebecca Carver, terrified by the captive Indian right in her home, must decide for herself what--and who--is right. At stake is a life.
