Into the Kiamichi: A Tale of Love & Adventure in the Indian Territory

by Regan McLaughlin

Overview

In 19th-century America, adopted sisters Molly and Genevieve escape their cruel father and make their way, on foot, into the heart of the wild west. With a few coins in her purse, Molly intends to find a boarding house and job in Fort Smith, Arkansas, and Genna dreams of going to school. They never planned to enter the Indian Territory and certainly never expected to cross paths with outlaws. But with the help of a spirited frontier woman, a fearless Choctaw girl, and Belle Starr, the Bandit Queen, they find friendship and the courage to survive in a world set apart from the rest. Take the journey with them and discover Oklahoma as it was before statehood. Read about the culture and traditions of the Five Civilized Tribes while you follow the sisters through life in a new series titled Once Upon a Territory by Regan McLaughlin.
