“Yes, the Cherokee think so, too,” Joshua said. His gaze, like his brothers, seemed to look everywhere at once.

“Cherokee? Aren’t they Indians?”

“They are indeed.”

“And they’re near here? Near us, right now?” Sarah would admit that her real knowledge of the Indians and Indian matters was almost non-existent.

When she’d been younger, her father had taken to purchasing dime novels that he read late at night. Sarah used to sneak into her father’s study to peruse these dramatic accounts of the violent clashes between “God-fearing, patriotic American settlers” and the “wild Indians”. She recalled some of her earliest nightmares had centered around those stories, some of which had been quite gruesome in their depictions of Indians or soldiers or even the settlers themselves being massacred. Her mother had never known about Sarah’s clandestine reading, nor had she ever approved of those novels being in the house in the first place. As far as Sarah knew, her father still liked to pick up those simple books to while away an afternoon.

Sarah had no idea what her father’s current wife thought of the practice.

“Of course they’re near here. This is their land, sweetheart. We’re in Indian Territory.”

“Indian Territory?” She heard the squeak in her voice and wondered if the smiles both men gave her were because they thought her funny or because they wanted to reassure her she had nothing to fear.

She rather suspected the former.

“Relax, Sarah. The Cherokee are a peaceful people. At least the ones we’ve met have always been. We need to travel through their land, then through that of the Choctaw. In fact, once on Choctaw land, we’ll be passing within ten miles of Durant. It’s not a large city, but it has many of the same amenities you’d find almost anywhere in Arkansas or Texas.”
