DEADLY AIM
Having made up his mind, Nate faced around and began hiking. From the position of the sun he knew the day was only four hours old, so there was plenty of time for him to find the river before nightfall. His stomach rumbled, reminding him it had been almost a full day since last he ate, but he was not about to stop to eat until he learned the fate of his family and Shakespeare.
Suddenly the drum of hoofbeats shattered Nate's reverie and he turned to find nine warriors galloping toward him with shafts notched to bows and lances upraised. By their hair he knew they belonged to the same tribe as the man he'd seen in the trees. He was lifting a hand to make the sign for friend when the foremost brave took aim and let an arrow fly.

Author's Note
For the benefit of those who will wonder, four clarifications are in order.
The account of Nathaniel King's experience (and you'll know which one when you get there) is derived from contemporary records of a man who survived a similar ordeal.
Yes, the names of the various warriors are based on historical sources. The particular name that will either make you blink, laugh, or brand me as vulgar (you'll know which one when you get there) was in fact the name of a prominent Minneconjou.
The Pawnees did indeed practice the rite mentioned (you'll know it when....) until the early nineteenth century.
And, finally, please forgive the liberties I have taken with sign language in the interests of dramatic license.

Chapter One
The four riders were strung out in single file, riding along the south bank of the meandering Yellowstone River. They rode alertly, their rifles across their thighs, their eyes trained to the north.
"I'll sure be glad when we're past this stretch, Pa," said the youngest of the four, a lanky boy who hardly appeared old enough to handle the long Kentucky in his lap.
"I don't blame you, Zach," replied the father, Nate King. "Those Blackfeet get right riled when they find whites near their territory."
Nate was a big, powerfully built man clad in garb typical of those who made their living as free trappers: buckskins, moccasins, and a beaver hat. Angled across his broad chest were a powder horn and ammo pouch on one side and his possibles bag on the other. On his right hip

nestled a tomahawk, on his left a large butcher knife. Wedged under the front of his wide leather belt were two matching flintlocks.
No sooner had Nate made his comment than from behind them came a hearty chuckle. "The Lord preserve us! I never met such a bunch of worriers in all my born days. If I had a dollar for every time you fret over nothing, I'd never have to raise another beaver for as long as I live."
