Description

The story. concerns Annie Charlie, daughter of Big Meadow Charlie, and her love for Gyp Sandhouse - white- who shies from responsibility, and the unlikely killing of cold Moses Crease who hasn't a soft bone in his body at the hands of Annie's brother, Little Boy, "who wouldn't stand up to a fly over breakfast." In the ensuing investigation two members of the Mounties are chastized by the people they have come to serve judgment on. . . . In his understated fashion, Mr. Fry manages to say a lot more -- a tolerant more -- than all those grave rubbings of Wounded Knee.184p.
