When Elizabeth Fortune is forced to quit school and find a way to get by, she must rely on all her personal resources. For a young woman in 1870, that’s hard enough, but for someone of mixed Native American, African American and Anglo American heritage, it’s a challenge that few could survive.

The Adventures of Elizabeth Fortune deals with the complex issues of race and gender that still confront us. The story captures the essence of the post-Civil War American West through historically accurate, often breathtaking description.

“High adventure as Elizabeth Fortune, a woman with as much integrity as beauty, is disowned by her white grandfather. Doubly disguised as a boy—and white—she hires on as a teamster to hunt for her father, a Buffalo Soldier on the frontier...[This book] leaves us hoping for the further adventures of one of the most intriguing heroines this reader has met in years.” --Jeanne Williams, past-president of Western Writers of America, winner of four WWA Spur Awards and the Levi Straus Golden Saddleman

“...This intriguing adventure explodes with action and suspense.” —Black Issues Book Review
