They called him The Arrow: a man who chose to wound his own heart so that his people might survive.
Chief Ouray of the Tabeguache Ute was a leader unlike any other. Brilliant, multilingual, and possessed of a quiet authority that commanded respect from warriors and diplomats alike, he navigated the impossible terrain between two worlds as white expansion swept across Colorado. While younger men sharpened their weapons, Ouray sharpened his words, believing that war against the United States meant annihilation for the Nchi-u people. But diplomacy exacted its own devastating toll. Each treaty signed carved away more of the homeland he loved. Each concession earned him the contempt of those he fought to protect. Branded an appeaser by his own warriors, betrayed by every promise Washington made, Ouray carried the crushing weight of a man who sacrificed everything, his pride, his reputation, his very spirit, for a peace that was never honored. Told through the eyes of Chipeta, his wife and most trusted advisor, The Arrow and the Setting Sun follows Ouray's extraordinary journey from the mountains of Colorado to the halls of Washington and finally to a barren Utah reservation where his light faded but never truly died. Selected among the top fifteen Biographical Historic Fiction titles in the 2026 Historical Fictions Society's First Chapters Competition, this is the story of a visionary who saw the future clearly, fought it with every breath, and broke himself against its relentless tide so that his people might endure. A powerful entry among literary western novels and essential reading for readers of Louise Erdrich, this is an unforgettable story of love, resilience, and the native American struggle to maintain their way of life and their dignity.外文書商品之書封,為出版社提供之樣本。實際出貨商品,以出版社所提供之現有版本為主。部份書籍,因出版社供應狀況特殊,匯率將依實際狀況做調整。
