About the Book

William Bent traveled west as a young man in 1829 to build a life for himself and his future family. He and his brother Charles, in partnership with Ceran St. Vrain, built a trading empire in the Southwest during the early years of international trade on the Santa Fe Trail. William managed the construction and running of Bent's Fort, the only civilization between the Missouri frontier and Santa Fe, the capital of Mexico's northern province. William loved the west and its indigenous people. He married a Cheyenne woman and had five mixed blood children. By the time his children were grown the racially diverse west of the frontier had given way to a time when the United States wanted to take western land from the Indians for exploitation and white settlement. The challenges for William's children were very different from what he had faced. His son George personifies the struggles of the clash of cultures between the Indians and the whites. Of William's five children George best learned to live in two worlds despite making the choice to live among and honor the Cheyenne tribe and other natives. The Bent family struggles and triumphs came at a high cost, but they persevered epitomizing the strengths this country was built upon.
About the Author: Camilla Kattell has pursued her dream of writing after retiring from careers that included raising her children, piloting airplanes, working in the financial industry, and training and caring for ranch horses in the beautiful Pecos Valley of New Mexico. Her passion for history led to a BA degree with honors in history and social sciences. Living in the Southwest, where the old Santa Fe Trail terminates, has fired her interest in the nineteenth-century period of cultural change for the Land of Enchantment and beyond. The mix of three cultures-Indian, Hispanic, and Anglo-American-resulted in a rich and colorful tapestry to study, understand, and remember, as seen in her writing. Cam is also the author of Youth on the Santa Fe Trail-stories about young people who journeyed to the unsettled West.
