Lost Child

Captain Lee Quince takes his men out to search for a lost boy who they think was taken by a Cheyenne fighter called Wasiah. Major Barlow comes from Washington and wants to join the hunt, demanding they use force to show their power. But Quince knows the Cheyenne ways and chooses to move carefully instead. When they find Wasiah's group, things get dangerous, but Quince's understanding of their people stops a deadly fight from breaking out.
