When the Ainsleys joined the westward expansion of the U.S. in 1862, they could never have imagined the heartbreak awaiting them. Settled in the beautiful Yellowstone Valley and building a new life, their daughter Lillian was taken by Indians. For seven years, Lillian lived with the Nez Perce, until her childhood friend, Mathew Bently struck out into the wilderness to find her. His adventures and hers are the true story told here in this long out-of-print book.
