Buck encounters Camille, about to wed Bill Barlow, who he left behind when they ran across buffalo hunters. She was Little Feather then and when she seems possessed Buck takes her to find a Native American healer to heal her.
Buck's old friend is ill, both physically and spiritually. An old Indian prophet tells Buck there is a journey to a particular medicine man he must bring to town or his friend and those she loves will be destroyed. Buck has a hard time believing what's happening.—dlhs-11291
