Front Jacket cover:
It is late in 1876, the blood-soaked year of the Little Big Horn. Sitting Bull and his victorious followers are fighting or fleeing towards Canada to escape American revenge. Rather than surrender and be transported hundreds of miles from their beloved hunting grounds to reservations, the Indians are moving farther north, brining to the Canadian plains the tension, danger and frenzy of the Indian wars, and to the Mounties hopelessly outnumbered, the biggest challenge in Canada's new life as a nation.
Across the Medicine Line is the story of the dramatic encounter between Sitting Bull, the exiled leader of the Sioux, and James Morrow Walsh, Superintendent of the North-West Mounted Police. Between this grave, wily, persuasive Indian and his adventurous, quick-tempered antagonist, there arose a stormy friendship - at times severely tested by the Indians, by Ottawa and Washington, by the internal politics of the police, and the vengeful US Army, anxious to return Sitting Bull to his homeland and deal out punishment.
