Summary
When a white trapper is murdered and a young Chippewa Indian is arrested as the suspected villain, the entire town is enraged and screams for revenge fill the streets, but thirteen-year-old Rebecca Carver believes the Chippewa boy is falsely accused and sets out to find out the truth to set him free from his pending fate on the gallows.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: The year is 1812. A white trapper is murdered. And a young Chippewa Indian stands accused.
Captured and shackled in leg irons and chains, Indian John awaits his trial in a settlerâs loft. In a world of crude frontier justice where evidence is often overlooked in favor of vengeance, he struggles to make sense of the white manâs court. His young lawyer faces the wrath of a settlement hungry to see the Indian hang. And 13-year-old Rebecca Carver, terrified by the captive Indian right in her home, must decide for herself whatâand whoâis right. At stake is a life. Inspired by a true story, Crooked River takes a probing look at prejudice and early American justice.
