WILLIAM AND THE OLD INDIAN
A Short Story

"By mid-April, we made it to Independence, where a man told us it would cost three dollars and two bits to go with the wagon train. Pa said we didn't need some trail master telling us when and where to go. A couple of days later, we headed southwest instead of following the regular trail, because Pa said it was warmer to the south."

Fifteen-year-old William tells the story of his family's move to the west and his encounter with Running Buffalo.

This story won the Ozark Creative Writers 2018 Oxbow Award in Memory of Dusty & Pat Richards.
