Charlotte Greenfield is crossing Nebraska in 1861, on her way to Oregon to teach little 'savages.' Along the way, she is abducted by Indians. Will Bondurant, of the Texas Rifles, crosses their path and challenges the Indian who claims the red head to a fight. While fighting to free the young woman, Will is knifed and Charlotte must try to save him from infection.
When they find the wagon train again, no one can take Charlotte in except a single man who makes suggestive remarks to her. Will isn't pleased and decides to take Charlotte to her Indian school, by way of chasing the murderer he's been following. Charlotte becomes 'Charlie,' Will's nephew, a whiskey-drinking, cigarette-making and smoking youngster.
I just thought this was a very average yarn. 'The morning after' ... just didn't ring true for a preacher's daughter. Actually, I just thought it was boring. Will seemed realistic; Charlotte did not.

DNF. The heroine turned me off the story almost immediately.

An engaging historical western that's just sweet all around. The love scenes are tame and too few, but Charlotte's and Will's attraction and love for each other feels true. 3 stars
